 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to carry out the Plan (the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this

Common Stock of the Company granted under this Agreement. 
  
 1.4 Plan. “Plan” shall mean The 2002 Incentive Award Plan of PETCO Animal Supplies, Inc. 
  
 1.5 Retirement. “Retirement” shall mean a Termination of Employment other than a discharge for good cause (as determined by the
Administrator) if the sum of (i) Optionee’s age as of the date of termination plus (ii) the number of full years of Optionee’s service with the Company as of the date of termination, is equal to or greater than seventy (70);
provided, however, that Optionee’s Retirement shall not be deemed to have occurred unless Optionee has at least five (5) full years of service with the Company. 
  
 2.1 Grant of Option. In consideration of the Optionee’s agreement to provide services to the Company or its
Subsidiaries, and for other good and valuable consideration, on the date set forth on the front of this Agreement, the Company irrevocably grants to the Optionee the option to purchase from the Company any part or all of an aggregate of the number

 2.3
Consideration to Company. In consideration of the granting of this Option by the Company, the Optionee agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or a Subsidiary, with such duties and responsibilities as the Company shall
from time to time prescribe, for a period of at least one (1) year from the date this Option is granted. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, or
shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Optionee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. 
  
 2.4 Adjustments in Option. The Administrator shall make adjustments
with respect to the Option in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3 of the Plan. 
  
 3.1 Commencement of Exercisability. 
  
 (a) Subject to subsections (b) below, the Option shall become 100% vested and fully exercisable on the third anniversary of the Effective Date. 
  
 (b) Subject to subsection (c) below, no portion of the Option which is unexercisable at Termination of Employment shall
thereafter become exercisable. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding subsection
(b) above, if the Optionee incurs a Termination of Employment as a result of the Optionee’s Retirement, the Option shall continue to vest following the date of the Optionee’s Retirement in accordance with Section 3.1(a). 
  
 3.2 Duration of Exercisability. The Option shall remain exercisable as
provided in Section 3.1 until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3. 
  
 3.3 Expiration of Option. The Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events: 
  
 (a) The expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option was granted; or 
  
 (b) The expiration of three (3) months from the date of the Optionee’s
Termination of Employment unless such Termination of Employment results from Optionee’s death, disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or Retirement, provided that if the Optionee dies within said three (3) month
period, the period shall be extended to end twelve (12) months from the date of the Optionee’s death; 
  
 (c) Subject to Section 3.3(e) below, to the extent the Optionee incurs a Termination of Employment as a result of the Optionee’s Retirement as set
forth in Section 3.1(c), the third anniversary of the date of Optionee’s Termination of Employment as a result of the Optionee’s Retirement; or 
  
 (d) The expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment by reason of his disability (within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or death, provided that if the Optionee dies within said twelve (12) month period, the period shall be extended to end twelve (12) months from the date of the Optionee’s death. 
  
 (e) In the event that there shall be in effect any Company-imposed blackout
or window-period limitation at the time the Option expires pursuant to Section 3.3(c) above, or the Optionee is otherwise precluded from exercising the Option or selling the stock issuable hereunder pursuant to any applicable securities laws, such
expiration date shall be automatically extended until the date that is ten (10) days following the termination or expiration of such blackout or window-period limitation or the date on which such securities law restrictions no longer apply.

  
 3.4 Special Tax Consequences for Incentive Stock
Options. The Optionee acknowledges that, if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of stock with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code), including the Option, are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other incentive stock option plans of the Company, any Subsidiary and
any parent corporation thereof (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code)) exceeds $100,000, the Option and such other options shall be treated as not qualifying under Section 422 of the Code but rather shall be taxed as non-qualified stock
options. The Optionee further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking options into account in the order in which they were granted. For purposes of these rules, the Fair Market Value of stock shall
be determined as of the time the option with respect to such stock is granted. In addition, the Optionee acknowledges that, if the Option is an Incentive 

 
Stock Option, to the extent the Option is exercised more than three (3) months following the Optionee’s Termination of Employment, pursuant to Section
422 of the Code the Option will cease to be an Incentive Stock Option and will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option (unless such Termination of Employment occurs as a result of the Optionee’s death or disability (within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code), or the Optionee dies within three (3) months following the Optionee’s Termination of Employment), in which case the Option may be exercised for twelve (12) months following the date of the Optionee’s death or
disability and still qualify as an Incentive Stock Option). 
  
 4.1 Person Eligible to Exercise. Except as provided in Section 5.2, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only he may exercise the Option or any portion thereof. After the death of the Optionee, any exercisable portion of the Option
may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3, be exercised by his personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and
distribution. 
  
 4.2 Partial Exercise. Any exercisable
portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3; provided, however,
that each partial exercise shall be for whole shares only. 
  
 4.3 Manner of Exercise. The Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the Secretary or his office of all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion becomes
unexercisable under Section 3.3: 
  
 (a) A written notice
complying with the applicable rules established by the Administrator stating that the Option, or a portion thereof, is exercised. The notice shall be signed by the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion; and

  
 (b) Full cash payment to the Secretary of the Company for the
shares with respect to which such Option or portion is exercised; or 
  
 (i) With the consent of the Administrator, a delay in payment of up to 30 days from the date the Option, or portion thereof, is exercised; or 
  
 (ii) With the consent of the Administrator, (A) shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the Optionee for at least six months, duly endorsed for
transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof, or (B) shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable to the Optionee upon exercise of
the Option, with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option or any portion thereof equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof; or 
  
 (iii) With the consent of the Administrator, a full recourse promissory note bearing interest (at no less than such rate as
shall then preclude the imputation of interest under the Code or successor provision) and payable upon such terms as may be prescribed by the Administrator. The Administrator may also prescribe the form of such note and the security to be given for
such note. The Option may not be exercised, however, by delivery of a promissory note or by a loan from the Company when or where such loan or other extension of credit is prohibited by law; or 
  
 (iv) With the consent of the Administrator, property of any kind which
constitutes good and valuable consideration; or 
  
 (v) With the
consent of the Administrator, a notice that the Optionee has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of the Company’s Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a
sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price; or 
  
 (vi) With the consent of the Administrator, any combination of the consideration provided in the foregoing subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v);
and 
  
 (c) A bona fide written representation and agreement, in a
form satisfactory to the Administrator, signed by the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion, stating that the shares of stock are being acquired for his own account, for investment and without any present
intention of distributing or reselling said shares or any of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act and then applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and that the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option
or portion will indemnify the Company against and hold it free and harmless from any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting to the Company if any sale or distribution of the shares by such person is contrary to the representation and agreement
referred to above. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to insure the observance and performance of such representation and agreement and to effect compliance with the Securities Act
and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any subsequent transfer of shares acquired on an
Option exercise does not violate the Securities Act, and may issue stop-transfer orders covering such shares. Share certificates evidencing stock issued on exercise of this Option shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the provisions of this
subsection (c) and the agreements herein. The written representation and agreement referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (c) shall, however, not be required if the shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise have been registered
under the Securities Act, and such registration is then effective in respect of such shares; and 
  
 (d) Full payment to the Company (or other employer corporation) of all amounts which, under federal, state or local tax law, it is required to withhold
upon exercise of the Option; with the consent of the Administrator in the form of, (i) shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the Optionee, duly endorsed for transfer, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the sums
required to be withheld, or (ii) shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option or any portion thereof equal to the sums required to be
withheld, may be used to make all or part of such payment; provided that the number of shares of Common Stock which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Option (or which may be repurchased from the
Optionee of such Option within six months after such shares of Common Stock were acquired by the Optionee from the Company) in order to satisfy the Optionee’s federal and state income and payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance,
vesting, exercise or payment of the Option shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding
rates for federal and state tax income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income; and 

 (e) In the event the Option or portion shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 by any person or
persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. 
  
 4.4 Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates. The shares of stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be
either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or
certificates for shares of stock purchased upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: 
  
 (a) The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; and 
  
 (b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares
under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental body, which the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or advisable; and 
  
 (c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or
federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and 
  
 (d) The receipt by the Company of full payment for such shares, including payment of all amounts which, under federal, state or local tax law, the Company
(or other employer corporation) is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option; and 
  
 (e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience. 
  
 4.5 Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the Option shall not be, nor
have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares purchasable upon the exercise of any part of the Option unless and until certificates representing such shares shall have been issued by the Company to
such holder. 
  
 5.1 Administration. The Administrator
shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken
and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Optionee, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator shall be personally liable for any action,
determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or the Option. In its sole discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan and this
Agreement except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. 
  
 5.2 Option Not Transferable. Neither the Option nor any interest or
right therein or part thereof shall be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until such Option has been exercised, or the shares underlying such Option have been
issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, the Option may be transferred by the Optionee, in writing and with prior written notice to the
Administrator, by gift, without the receipt of any consideration, to a member of the Optionee’s immediate family, as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act, or to a trust for the exclusive benefit of, or any other entity owned solely by,
such members, provided that the Option shall continue to be subject to all of the terms and conditions as applicable to the original Optionee, and the transferee shall execute any and all such documents requested by the Administrator in
connection with the transfer, including, without limitation, to evidence the transfer and to satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under applicable federal and state securities laws. Except as set forth above, neither the Option
nor any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Optionee or his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance,
assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition
thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence. 
  
 5.3 Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary,
and any notice to be given to the Optionee shall be addressed to him at the address given beneath his signature hereto. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 5.3, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given
to him. Any notice which is required to be given to the Optionee shall, if the Optionee is then deceased, be given to the Optionee’s personal representative if such representative has previously informed the Company of his status and address by
written notice under this Section 5.3. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained
by the United States Postal Service; provided, however, that any notice to be given by the Optionee relating to the exercise of the Option or any portion thereof shall be deemed duly given upon receipt by the Secretary of the Company
or his office. 
  
 5.4 Conformity to Securities Laws.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all
regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and
regulations. 
  
 5.5 Miscellaneous. This Agreement and the
Plan may be amended without the consent of the Optionee, provided that such amendment would not impair any rights of the Optionee under this Agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision hereof shall not affect the
other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted. This Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the 

 
State of California without regard to conflicts of laws thereof. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Company’s rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned to any Company Subsidiary or to any successor pursuant to a merger, consolidation or similar event. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the
respective rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the parties. 
  
 5.6 Notification of Disposition. If the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, the Optionee shall give prompt notice to the Company of any
disposition or other transfer of any shares of stock acquired under this Agreement if such disposition or transfer is made (a) within two (2) years from the Effective Date or (b) within one (1) year after the transfer of such shares to him. Such
notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the Optionee in such disposition or other transfer.Form of Indenture

officer or officers of the Company, unless such counsel actually knows that any such certificate, opinion, or representation is erroneous. 
  
 Where any Person is required to make, give, or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions, or other
instruments under this Indenture, such instruments may, but need not, be consolidated and form a single instrument. 
  
 Section 1.04. Acts of Holders; Holder Communications. 
  
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may
be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective
when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and (if expressly required by the applicable terms of this Indenture) to the Company. If any Securities are denominated in coin or currency other than that of the United States, then
for the purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have taken any action as herein described, the principal amount of such Securities shall be deemed to be that amount of United States dollars that
could be obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of exchange into United States dollars for the currency in which such Securities are denominated (as evidenced to the Trustee by a certificate provided by a financial
institution, selected by the Company, that maintains an active trade in the currency in question, acting as conversion agent) as of the date the taking of such action by the Holders of such requisite principal amount is evidenced to the Trustee as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the
manner provided in this Section. 
  
 (b) The fact and date of the
execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness to such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that
the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee
deems sufficient. 
  
 (c) The ownership of Securities shall for
all purposes be determined by reference to the Security Register, as such register shall exist as of the applicable Record Date. 
  
 (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may,
at its option, by Board 

  

 11 

 
Resolution, fix in advance a Record Date (which need not be within the time limits otherwise prescribed by Section 316(c) of the TIA) for the determination
of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such Record Date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after such Record Date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such Record Date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the
requisite proportion of Securities Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Securities Outstanding shall be computed as of
such Record Date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such Record Date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after
such Record Date. 
  
 (e) Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind each subsequent Holder of such Security, and each Holder of any Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, with
respect to anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance upon such action, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
  
 (f) The rights of Holders of Securities of a series to communicate with other Holders of Securities of such series with
respect to the Indenture or the Securities of such series are as provided by the TIA, and the Company and the Trustee shall comply with the requirements of Sections 312(a) and 312(b) of the TIA. Neither the Company nor the Trustee will be held
accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of Holders made pursuant to the TIA. 
  
 Section 1.05. Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request, order, authorization, direction, consent, waiver, or other action to be
taken by the Trustee, the Company, or the Holders hereunder (including any Authentication Order), and any notice to be given to the Trustee or the Company with respect to any action taken or to be taken by the Trustee, the Company, or the Holders
hereunder, shall be sufficient if made in writing and 
  
 (a) (if
to be furnished or delivered to or filed with the Trustee by the Company or any Holder) delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 
  
 (b) (if to be furnished or delivered to the Company by the Trustee or any Holder, and except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(d) and, in the case of
a request for repayment, except as specified in the Security carrying the right to repayment) sent by overnight air courier or mailed to the Company, first-class postage prepaid, at its principal office (as specified in the first paragraph of this
instrument) or at any other address hereafter furnished in writing by the Company to the Trustee. 
  
 As between the Company and the Trustee, in addition to the foregoing, notices in writing may be delivered by overnight air courier, by hand, or by
facsimile transmission (which transmission shall be confirmed). 
  

 12 

 Section 1.06. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture or any Security provides for
notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise expressly provided herein or in such Security) if in writing and sent by overnight air courier or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected
by such event, at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register as of the applicable Record Date, not later than the latest date or earlier than the earliest date prescribed by this Indenture or such Security for the giving of such
notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where
this Indenture or any Security provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers
of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
  
 In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it shall
be impractical to mail notice of any event to any Holder when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or the applicable Security, then any method of notification as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Company shall be deemed to be sufficient for the giving of such notice. 
  
 Section 1.07. Trust Indenture Act. This Indenture shall incorporate and be governed by the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part of and to govern indentures qualified under the TIA. If any provision hereof limits,
qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control. 
  
 Section 1.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table
of Contents hereof are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 1.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether
so expressed or not. 
  
 Section 1.10. Separability
Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

  
 Section 1.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in
this Indenture or in any Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, their successors hereunder, the Authenticating Agent, the Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, and the Holders of Securities (or such
of them as may be affected thereby), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
  
 Section 1.12. Governing Law. This Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
  

 13 

 Section 1.13. Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
  
 Section 1.14. Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if
for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court with respect to the Securities of any series it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, payable with respect to such Securities into a
currency in which a judgment can be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange from the currency in which payments under such Securities is payable (the “Required Currency”) into the Judgment Currency
shall be the highest bid quotation (assuming European-style quotation — i.e., Required Currency per Judgment Currency) received by the Company from three recognized foreign exchange dealers in the City of New York for the purchase of the
aggregate amount of the judgment (as denominated in the Judgment Currency) on the Business Day preceding the date on which a final unappealable judgment is rendered, for settlement on such payment date, and at which the applicable dealer timely
commits to execute a contract, and (b) the Company’s obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or by any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not
entered in accordance with the preceding clause (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 judgment creditor 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. 
  
 Section 1.15. Legal Holidays. 
  
 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or Maturity of any Security shall not be a
Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on
the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or at Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after
such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or Maturity, as the case may be. 
  
 Section 1.16. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture or loan or debt agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and no such
indenture or loan or debt agreement may be used to interpret this Indenture. 
  
 Section 1.17. No Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporators, Members or Stockholders. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member or stockholder of the Company or any other
obligor on the Securities, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or such obligor under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations. Each Holder of
Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

on the face of the Security. 
  
 The definitive Securities, if
any, shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange, all as determined by the officers

copy of the form of Security which has been approved thereby, or, if a Board Resolution authorizes a specific officer or officers to approve a form of Security, together with a certificate of such officer or officers approving the form of Security
attached thereto, provided, however, that with respect to all Securities issued pursuant to the same Board Resolution, the required copy of such Board Resolution, together with the appropriate attachment, need be delivered only once. Any form of

of the Trustee and delivered to the Company. 
  
 Section 2.03.
Securities in Global Form. If Securities of a series are issuable in whole or in part in global form, the global security representing such Securities may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities
from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges or increased to reflect the issuance of additional
Securities. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount (or any increase or decrease in the amount) of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified
therein or in the Authentication Order delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof.

 If any series of Securities shall be established by action taken pursuant to any Board Resolution, the execution by the
officer or officers authorized by such Board Resolution of an Authentication Order (as defined in Section 3.03 below) with respect to the first Security of such series to be issued, and the delivery of such Authentication Order to the Trustee at or
before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series, shall constitute a sufficient record of such action. If all of the Securities of any such series are not to be issued at one time, it shall be necessary to deliver an Authentication
Order with respect to each subsequent issuance of Securities of such series, but such Authentication Orders may be executed by any authorized officer or officers of the Company, whether or not such officer or officers would have been authorized to
establish such series pursuant to the aforementioned Board Resolution. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture creating such series (i) a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series, and (ii) except as to denomination, all
Securities of the same series shall be substantially identical. 
  
 The form of the Securities of each series shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or by or pursuant to the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture creating such series. The Securities of each series shall be
distinguished from the Securities of each other series in such manner as the Board of Directors or its authorized representative or representatives may determine. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided with respect to Securities of a particular series, the Securities of any series may only be
issuable in registered form, without coupons. 
  
 Section 3.02.
Denominations and Currency. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations and currency as shall be provided in the provisions of this Indenture or by or pursuant to the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture
creating such series. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of that series shall be issuable only in fully registered form in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof. 
  
 Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication and
Delivery, and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the President or any Vice President of the Company, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, if deemed necessary or desirable by the officer signing such
Securities, and attested by its Secretary or any one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. The corporate seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and
may be impressed, affixed, imprinted, or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any
Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. 
  

 19 

 Unless otherwise provided in the form of Security for any series, all Securities shall be dated the date
of their authentication. 
  
 Securities bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of
such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
  
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for authentication and delivery
(such Order an “Authentication Order”) with respect to such Securities, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of such valid Authentication Order, in accordance with procedures acceptable to the Trustee set forth in the Authentication
Order, and subject to the provisions hereof, authenticate and deliver such Securities to such recipients as may be specified from time to time pursuant to such Authentication Order. The material terms of such Securities shall be determinable by
reference to such Authentication Order and procedures. If provided for in such procedures, such Authentication Order may authorize authentication and delivery of such Securities pursuant to oral instructions from the Company or its duly authorized
agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
(subject to the provisions of Section 6.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon: 
  
 (1) an executed supplemental indenture, if any; 
  
 (2) an Officers’ Certificate, certifying as to the authorized forms and terms of such Securities; and 
  
 (3) an Opinion of Counsel, stating that: 
  
 (a) the form or forms and terms of such Securities have been established by and in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

  
 (b) such Securities, when authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity; 
  
 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the
issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
  

 20 

 If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that Securities of a series may be issued in
whole or in part in global form, then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall (in accordance with this Section 3.03 and the Authentication Order with respect to such series) authenticate and deliver, one or more Securities in global form
that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such one or more Securities in global form, (ii) shall be registered,
in the name of the Depositary for such Security or Securities in global form, or in the name of a nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction, and (iv) shall bear a legend
substantially as follows: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in certificated form, this Debt Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, or by a
nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.” Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 3.01
for a Security in global form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation. 
  
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual or facsimile signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall
be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  
 Section 3.04. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and, upon
receipt of the documents required by Section 3.03 hereof, together with an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities of such series that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed, or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued in registered form, without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and other
variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series for which a temporary Security may be issued in global form, such temporary global
security shall represent all of the Outstanding Securities of such series and tenor. 
  
 Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive
Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such other office
or agency as may be maintained by the Company in a Place of Payment pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof, for definitive Securities of such series having identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series, at the
Company’s own expense and without charge to the Holder; and upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series in authorized 

  

 21 

 
denominations containing identical terms and provisions. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to a temporary Security in
global form, until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 
  
 Section 3.05. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. With respect to the
Securities of each series, the Trustee shall keep a register (herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) which shall provide for the registration of Securities of each series, and for transfers of Securities of such
series, in accordance with information to be provided to the Trustee by the Company, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe. Such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into
written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such register or registers shall be available for inspection at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency to be maintained
by the Company pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof. 
  
 Upon due
presentation for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company with respect to that series pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and Scheduled
Maturity Date. 
  
 Any other provision of this Section 3.05
notwithstanding, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities represented thereby, in definitive form, a Security in global form representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary, or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary, or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for
such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
  
 At the
option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and Scheduled Maturity Date, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged
at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.05, for so long as
any Securities are represented by one or more Securities in global form and registered in the name of the Depositary for such Securities or its nominee, transfers of beneficial interests in such Securities in global form may only be effected through
the book-entry system maintained by such Depositary (or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Securities may only be reflected by book-entries. 
  
 If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series represented by one or more Securities in global form notifies
the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series, or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of 

  

 22 

 
such series ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, the Company, by Company Order, shall appoint a successor Depositary with
respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s
election pursuant to Section 3.01 that such Securities be represented by one or more Securities in global form shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of
an Authentication Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form, in authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount, and of
like terms and tenor, equal to the principal amount of the Security or Securities in global form representing such series, in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form. 
  
 If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Securities issued in global form, the
Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Security in global form for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form and of like terms and tenor on such terms as are
acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of an Authentication Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver,
without service charge: 
  
 (a) to each Person specified by such
Depositary, a new definitive Security or Securities of the same series and of the same tenor, in authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Security in global
form; and 
  
 (b) to such Depositary, a new Security in global
form in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Security in global form and the aggregate principal amount of the definitive Securities delivered to Holders pursuant to clause (a) above.

  
 Upon the exchange of a Security in global form for Securities
in definitive form, such Security in global form shall be canceled by the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. Securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a Security in global form pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be
registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Security in global form, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Company
or the Trustee in writing. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered or to the Depositary. 
  
 Whenever any securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
  

 23 

 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment
shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided in the
Security to be transferred or exchanged, no service charge shall be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may (unless otherwise provided in such Security) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, Section 9.06 and Section 11.07 hereof not involving any transfer. 
  
 The Company shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of, or
exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 11.03 and ending at the close
of business on the date of such mailing, or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed.

  
 Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen
Securities. If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) there is delivered to the Company and
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company
may in its discretion execute and, upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor, series, Scheduled
Maturity Date, and principal amount, 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 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 the same series duly issued hereunder. 
  

 24 

 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights
and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
  
 Section 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on any Security which is payable and is punctually paid or duly
provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall, if so provided in such Security, be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date,
notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date. (unless such Interest Payment Date is also the date of Maturity of such Security). 
  
 Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the applicable Record Date by virtue of his having been such Holder; and, except as
hereinafter provided, such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or clause (b) below: 
  
 (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names any such Securities (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as
in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after
the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Holder of each such Security at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b). 
  
 (b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on
which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable
by the Trustee. 
  

 25 

 If any installment of interest on any Security called for redemption pursuant to Article 11 is due and
payable on or prior to the Redemption Date and is not paid or duly provided for on or prior to the Redemption Date in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07, such interest shall be payable as part of the Redemption Price of
such Securities. 
  
 Interest on Securities of any series that
bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Securities Register for such series or by such other means as may be specified in the form of such Security.

  
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 and
the provisions of Section 3.05 hereof, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were
carried by such other Security. 
  
 Section 3.08. Persons
Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered on the applicable
Record Date(s) as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any (subject to Section 3.05 and Section 3.07 hereof), and any additional amounts payable with respect to such Security,
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 None of the Company, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent
or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interests and each of them may act or refrain from acting without liability on any information relating to such records provided by the Depositary. 
  
 Section 3.09. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment,
redemption, registration of transfer, exchange, or credit against a sinking or analogous fund shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already canceled, shall be promptly canceled by it. The
Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled
by the Trustee. Acquisition of such Securities by the Company shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Security
shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall return all cancelled Securities to the Company or, if the Company so agrees,
may destroy all canceled Securities in its customary manner. 
  
 Section 3.10. Computation of Interest. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 3.01, interest on the Securities shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  

 26 

 Section 3.11. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities of any series
may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers and/or similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders;
provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN”
numbers and/or similar numbers. 
  
 ARTICLE 4 
  
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

  
 Section 4.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of
Indenture. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities (except as to any surviving rights of conversion or transfer or exchange of Securities of such series expressly provided for herein or
in the form of Security for such series), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when 
  
 (a) either 
  
 (i) all Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Securities of such
series which have been destroyed, lost, or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06, and (B) Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by
the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee canceled or for cancellation; or 
  
 (ii) all such Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee canceled or for
cancellation 
  
 (A) have become due and payable,
or 
  
 (B) will, in accordance with their
Scheduled Maturity Date, become due and payable within one year, or 
  
 (C) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
  
 and, in any of the cases described in subparagraphs (A), (B), or (C) above, the Company has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust for the purpose, an amount in money, in U.S. Government Obligations, or in Equivalent Government Securities sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on such Securities with respect 

  

 27 

 
to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable), or to the
Scheduled Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such U.S. Government Obligations or Equivalent Government Securities are callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, the amount of such money,
U.S. Government Obligations, and Equivalent Government Securities deposited with the Trustee must be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness referred to above if such issuer elects to exercise such call or redemption provisions at
any time prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be. The Company, but not the Trustee, shall be responsible for monitoring any such call or redemption provision; and 
  
 (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable
hereunder by the Company with respect to the Securities of such series; and 
  
 (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with. 
  
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company under Section 4.01(a) and its obligations to the Trustee with respect to that
series under Section 6.03 and Section 6.07 shall survive, and the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.05 and Section 10.03 shall survive. 
  
 Section 4.02. Discharge and Legal Defeasance. The provisions of Section 4.03 and Section 4.04 shall apply to the Securities of each series that is
issued on or after the date hereof unless specifically otherwise provided in a Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or indenture supplemental hereto provided pursuant to Section 3.01. In addition to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to
Section 4.01, in the case of any series of Securities with respect to which the exact amount described in Section 4.04(a) can be determined at the time of making the deposit referred to in Section 4.04(a), the Company shall be deemed to have paid
and discharged the entire indebtedness on, and satisfied all of its Obligations with respect to, all the Securities of such a series as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 4.04 are satisfied, and the
provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series shall no longer be in effect (except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange of Securities of such series, (ii) substitution of mutilated, defaced,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities of such series, (iii) rights of Holders of Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 4.04(a), payments of principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest, if any,
thereon upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon acceleration), and remaining rights of the Holders of Securities of such series to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any, (iv) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder, (v) this Section 4.02, Section 3.04, Section 10.02 and Section 10.03 and (vi) the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the
Trustee payable to all or any of them) (hereinafter called “Legal Defeasance”), and the Trustee at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same. 
  

 28 

 Section 4.03. Covenant Defeasance. In the case of any series of Securities with respect to
which the exact amount described in Section 4.04(a) can be determined at the time of making the deposit referred to in Section 4.04(a), (i) the Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenants specified in or pursuant to this
Indenture (except as to (1) rights of registration of transfer and exchange of Securities of such series, (2) substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities of such series, (3) rights of Holders of Securities of such
series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 4.04(a), payments of principal thereof and interest, if any, thereon upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon acceleration), and remaining rights of the Holders of
Securities of such series to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any, (4) the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, (5) this Section 4.03, Section 3.04, Section 10.02 and Section 10.03, and (6) the rights of
the Holders of Securities of such series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them), and (ii) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 5.01(d) (with respect to any of the
covenants specified in or pursuant to this Indenture) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions
set forth in Section 4.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Trustee at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same. For this purpose, such Covenant
Defeasance means that the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 5.01(d)), whether directly or
indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document, and such omission to comply shall not constitute an Event of
Default under Section 5.01(d), but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be unaffected thereby. 
  
 Section 4.04. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 4.02 or
Section 4.03 to the Outstanding Securities: 
  
 (a) with
reference to Section 4.02 or Section 4.03, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of
Securities of such series (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations or Equivalent Government Securities which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later
than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), sufficient, in the opinion (with respect to (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal (including mandatory sinking fund payments) of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Outstanding Securities of such series on the
dates such installments of interest or principal are due; provided, however, that if such U.S. Government Obligations and Equivalent Government Securities are callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, the amount of
such money, U.S. Government Obligations, and/or Equivalent Government Securities deposited with the Trustee must be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness referred to above if the issuer of any such U.S. Government Obligations or
Equivalent Government Securities elects to exercise such call or redemption provisions at any time prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date of such Securities. The Company, but not the Trustee, shall be responsible for monitoring any such call or
redemption provision; 
  

 29 

 (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance under Section 4.02, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel that, based on the fact that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal
income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and
discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, Legal Defeasance and discharge had not occurred; 
  
 (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance under Section 4.03, the Company has
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, and such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit
and Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
  
 (d) no Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit, after giving effect to such deposit or, in the case of a Legal Defeasance under Section 4.02, no Event
of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or Section 5.01(f), at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit or, if longer, ending on the day following the expiration of the longest preference period applicable to
the Company in respect of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period); 
  
 (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA, assuming all
Securities of a series were in default within the meaning of the TIA; 
  
 (f) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; 
  
 (g) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in the trust
arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless the trust is registered under such Act or exempt from registration; and 
  
 (h) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent contemplated by this provision have been complied with. 
  

 30 

 Section 4.05. Application of Trust Money. All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section
4.01, Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and of the series of Securities in respect of which it was deposited, 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, premium, if any, and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the
Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
  
 Section 4.06. Paying Agent to Repay Moneys Held. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent of
the Securities (other than the Trustee) shall, upon demand of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys. 
  
 Section 4.07. Return of Unclaimed Amounts. Any amounts deposited with
or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the Holders of such Securities for two years after the date upon which the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Securities, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on demand; and the Holder of any of such Securities shall thereafter look
only to the Company for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect (until such time as such unclaimed amounts shall escheat, if at all, to the State of New York). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee or Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once a week for two successive weeks (in each case on any day of the week) in a newspaper printed in the English language and customarily published at least
once a day at least five days in each calendar week and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, in the City and State of New York, a notice that said amounts have not been so applied and that after a date named therein any unclaimed
balance of said amounts then remaining will be promptly returned to the Company. 
  
 ARTICLE 5 
  
 REMEDIES 
  
 Section 5.01. Events of
Default. “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means with respect to any series of Securities any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or
be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless such event is either inapplicable to a particular series or it is
specifically deleted or modified in the supplemental indenture creating such series of Securities or in the form of Security for such series: 
  
 (a) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of such series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of
30 days or more, and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred; or 
  

 31 

 (b) default in the payment of the principal amount of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of such
series as and when the same shall become due, either at Maturity, upon redemption, by declaration, or otherwise, and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred; or 
  
 (c) default in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation when the same becomes due by the terms of
the Securities of such series and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days or more, and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred; or 
  
 (d) default in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture in respect of the Securities of such series (other
than a default specified in subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c) above), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days or more after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company
and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder; or 
  
 (e) the entry of an order for
relief against the Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Act by a court having jurisdiction in the premises or a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent under any other applicable
Federal or State law, or the entry of a decree or order approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable
Federal or State law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the
continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days or more; or 
  
 (f) the consent by the Company to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or
consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as
they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or 
  
 (g) any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental indenture under which such series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such
series. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided in the terms of the
Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, a default under any indebtedness of the Company other than the Securities will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture, and a default under one series of Debt Securities will not constitute
a default under any other series of Securities. 
  

 32 

 Section 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission, and Annulment. If any Event of Default
described in Section 5.01 above (other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(e) and Section 5.01(f)) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any series, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the
Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of
all the Securities of such series and any and all accrued interest and premium thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, any provision of this Indenture
or the Securities of such series to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or Section 5.01(f) occurs, the principal amount (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such
portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of the Securities of such series and any and all accrued interest and premium thereon shall immediately become and be due and payable without any declaration or other
act on the party of the Trustee or any Holder. No declaration of acceleration by the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall constitute a declaration of acceleration by the Trustee with respect to any other series of Securities, and
no declaration of acceleration by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall constitute a declaration of acceleration or other action by any of the Holders of any other series of
Securities, in each case whether or not the Event of Default on which such declaration is based shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to more than one series of Securities, and whether or not any Holders of the Securities of any such
affected series shall also be Holders of Securities of any other such affected series. 
  
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made with respect to the Securities of any series 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 a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all
Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securities of such series which have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 and if
such cure or waiver does not conflict with any judgment or decree set forth in Section 5.01(e) and Section 5.01(f). No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee. The Company covenants that if: 
  
 (a) default is
made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security of any series when such interest becomes due and payable, or 
  
 (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at the Maturity thereof, or 
  

 33 

 (c) default is made in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation when the same
becomes due by the terms of the Securities of any series, and 
  
 (d) any such default continues for any period of grace provided in relation to such default pursuant to Section 5.01, 
  
 then, with respect to the Securities of such series, 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 all such Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, with interest (to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) upon the overdue principal (and
premium, if any) and upon overdue installments of interest, if any, at such rate or rates as may be prescribed therefor by the terms of 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 legal counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07; provided that all amounts due the Trustee
under Section 5.06 and Section 6.07 hereunder shall be paid prior to any other disbursements hereunder. 
  
 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, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series and collect the
money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities 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 5.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective
of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or
interest) shall be authorized, entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, 
  
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or, with respect to Original Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as
may be specified in the terms of such Securities), premium, if any, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary and 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 legal counsel, and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial
proceedings, and 
  

 34 

 (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agent and legal counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof. 
  
 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 any
series thereof 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 5.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture of the Securities
of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series 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 and its agents and legal counsel, be for
the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities, of the series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
  
 Section 5.06. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities 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, premium, if any, or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities of such
series 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 6.07 hereof. 
  
 Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities of that series for principal, premium, if any,
interest, if any, and additional amounts, if any, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind. 
  
 Third: To the Company or such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
  
 Section 5.07. 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 Securities of such series; 
  

 35 

 (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such 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 provided to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it 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 such series; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of such series 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 Holders of Securities of such series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and proportionate benefit of all the Holders of all Securities of such series. 
  
 Section 5.08. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium, and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any, (and additional amounts, if any) on such Security
on or after the respective payment dates expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such respective date, and such right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 Section 5.09. 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, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively
to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
  
 Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 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 or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  

 36 

 Section 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
  
 Section 5.12. 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) the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by legal counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible
Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction, and 
  
 (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

  
 Section 5.13. 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 not theretofore cured: 
  
 (a) in
the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation with respect to the Securities of such series, or 
  
 (b) in respect of a covenant or provision in this Indenture which, under
Article 9 hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series. 
  
 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 5.14. 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 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; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall not apply 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 

  

 37 

 
Outstanding Securities of any series to which the suit relates, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security on or after the respective payment dates expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or Repayment Date). 
  
 Section 5.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law (other than any bankruptcy law) wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and
covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  
 ARTICLE 6 
  
 THE TRUSTEE 
  
 Section 6.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. 
  
 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to any
series of Securities, 
  
 (i) the Trustee
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
  
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee
may conclusively rely upon statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
  
 (b) In case an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities has occurred and is continuing (and has not been
cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his own affairs. 
  
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall
be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that 
  

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

 38 

 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  
 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any 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; and 
  
 (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability (financial or otherwise) in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
  
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
  
 Section 6.02. Notice of Defaults. Within 60 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived;
provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment or analogous obligation with
respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good
faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series and; provided, further, that, in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.01(d) with respect to
Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders of Securities of such series shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default”, with respect to Securities of any
series, means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 
  
 Section 6.03. Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01 above: 
  
 (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected in acting
or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties; 
  

 39 

 (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company
Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
  
 (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering
or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 
  
 (d) the Trustee may consult with legal counsel and any Opinion of Counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
  
 (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered and provided 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; 
  
 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper
or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to
examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 
  
 (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; and 
  
 (h) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this
Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
  
 Section 6.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of
Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee
makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
  
 Section 6.05. May Hold Securities. 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 any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

  

 40 

 
However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as such term is defined in Section 310(b) of the TIA), it must eliminate such
conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as trustee (to the extent permitted under Section 310(b) of the TIA) or resign. Any agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section
6.09 and Section 6.13 hereof. 
  
 Section 6.06. Money Held in
Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as
otherwise agreed with the Company. 
  
 Section 6.07.
Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company covenants and agrees: 
  
 (a) to pay the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in
regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
  
 (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture
(including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and legal counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and

  
 (c) to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for,
and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including taxes) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
Indenture or trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 
  
 The obligations of the Company under this Section with respect to the Trustee
and any predecessor Trustee regarding indemnification and reimbursement of expenses shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior
claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. 
  
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) and
Section 5.01(f) above, such expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its legal counsel) and compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law.

 Section 6.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a
Trustee hereunder with respect to each series of Securities satisfying the requirements of Section 310(a) of the TIA. The Trustee shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of
any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or
State authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
  
 The Trustee is subject to, and shall comply with, Section 310(b) of the TIA. 
  
 Section 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
  
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11. 
  
 (b) The Trustee may resign with respect to any one or more series of Securities at any time by giving 60 days’ written notice thereof to the Company.
If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 (c) The Trustee may be
removed with respect to any series of Securities at any time by written notice of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
  
 (d) If at any time: 
  
 (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section
6.09 or in the circumstances described in Section 310(b) of the TIA with respect to any series of Securities; 
  
 (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or 
  
 (iii) the Trustee shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent
or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

  

 42 

 
then, (A) in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee, with respect to such series or, in the case of clause (iii), with respect to all series, or
(B) in the case of clause (i) above, subject to Section 5.14, any Holder that satisfies the requirements of Section 310(b) of the TIA may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. 
  
 (e) If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is
removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is
removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the
Trustee with respect to any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities of that series as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its principal Corporate Trust Office. 
  

Section 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the Company and to the predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective with respect to any series as to which it is resigning or being
removed as Trustee, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to any such series; but, on request of the
Company or the successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall, upon payment of its reasonable charges, if any, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the predecessor Trustee,
and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such predecessor Trustee hereunder with respect to all or any such series. Upon reasonable request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. 
  
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the
predecessor Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to
transfer and to conform to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates and
(2) if the predecessor Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the 

  

 43 

 
predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not being succeeded shall continue to be vested in
the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing
herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by
any other such Trustee. 
  
 No successor Trustee with respect to
any series of Securities shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible with respect to that series under this Article. 
  
 Section 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor Trustee by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
  
 Section 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company. The Trustee is subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the TIA. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA to the extent
indicated therein. 
  
 Section 6.14. Appointment of
Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding the Trustee, with the approval of the Company, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times meet the eligibility requirements for a Trustee set forth in Section 6.09 hereof. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
  

 44 

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

  
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Trustee and, if other than the Company, to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and, if other than the
Company, to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee, with the
approval of the Company, may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with
respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
  
 The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 6.07. 
  
 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may
have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form: 
  
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

with or into any other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into the Company; or 
  
 (b) directly or indirectly transfer, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, 
  
 unless, in either case: 
  
 (i) the Company shall be the surviving corporation, or, in a transaction in which the Company does not
survive or in which the Company transfers, sells or other disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, the successor Person shall be organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State or the District of
Columbia, and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any,
on all the Securities and the performance of every covenant of this Indenture and the Securities on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;

of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein and the Company shall thereupon be released from all obligations hereunder and under the Securities. Such successor Person
thereupon may cause to be signed and may issue any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which

subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee
for authentication, and any Securities which such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under
this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
  
 In case of any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale or
other disposition such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

Default or default and its nature and status.

 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
  
 Section 11.01. Applicability of Article. The Company may reserve the right to redeem and pay before the Scheduled Maturity Date all or any part of the Securities of any series, either by optional redemption,
sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation or otherwise, by provision therefor in the form of Security for such series established and approved pursuant to Section 2.02 and Section 2.03, and on such terms as are specified in such form or in
the indenture supplemental hereto with respect to Securities of such series as provided in Section 3.01. Redemption of Securities of any series shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and, to the extent that this Article does

 Section 11.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of fewer than all of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed
by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. 
  
 Section 11.03. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If
fewer than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not
previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, which may include provision for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the
minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. Unless otherwise provided in 

  

 52 

 
the terms of a particular series of Securities, the portions of the principal of Securities so selected for partial redemption shall be equal to the minimum
authorized denomination of the Securities of such series, or an integral multiple thereof, and the principal amount which remains outstanding shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series. 
  
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
  
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the
case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed.

than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his or her address appearing in the Security Register on the applicable Record Date. 
  
 All notices of redemption shall state: 
  
 (1) the Redemption Date; 
  
 (2) the Redemption Price; 
  
 (3) if fewer than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective
principal amounts) of the Securities to be redeemed, from the Holder to whom the notice is given and that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of the same series in the aggregate
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in accordance with Section 11.07; 
  
 (4) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security, and that interest, if any, thereon shall cease
to accrue from and after said date; 
  
 (5) the place where such
Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be the office or agency maintained by the Company in the Place of Payment pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof; and 
  
 (6) that the redemption is on account of a sinking or purchase fund, or other
analogous obligation, if that be the case. 
  
 Notice of
redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
  

 53 

 Section 11.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities which
are to be redeemed on that date. 
  
 Section 11.06. Securities
Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date
(unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price), and such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Securities for redemption in accordance with the notice, such Securities shall be paid by the Company
at the Redemption Price. Any installment of interest due and payable on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and the provisions of
Section 3.07 above. 
  
 If any Security called for redemption
shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security, or as otherwise provided in such Security. 
  
 Section 11.07. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security that is to be
redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency maintained by the Company in the Place of Payment pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof with respect to that series (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by,
or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the Holder of such Security without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series and Scheduled Maturity Date, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holders in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 
  
 Section 11.08. Provisions with Respect to Any Sinking Funds. Unless the form or terms of any series of Securities shall provide otherwise, in lieu
of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to such series of Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities of such series theretofore acquired by the
Company, or (b) receive credit for any Securities of such series (not previously so credited) acquired or redeemed by the Company (other than through operation of a mandatory sinking fund) and theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
and if it does so then (i) Securities so delivered or credited shall be credited at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price with respect to Securities of such series, and (ii) on or before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund
Redemption Date with respect to such series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (A) an Officers’ Certificate specifying the portions of such sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and by the delivery or
credit of Securities of such series acquired or redeemed by the Company, and (B) such Securities, to the extent not previously surrendered. Such Officers’ Certificate shall also state that the Securities for which the Company elects to receive
credit have not been previously so credited and were not acquired by the Company through operation of the mandatory sinking fund, if any, provided with 

  

 54 

 
respect to such Securities and are not required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.09 and shall also state that no Event of Default with
respect to Securities of such series has occurred and is continuing. All Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled by the Trustee and no Securities shall be authenticated in lieu thereof. 
  
 If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) with respect
to any series of Securities made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments with respect to Securities of such series made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request), unless otherwise
provided by the terms of such series of Securities, that cash shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund Redemption Date with respect to Securities of such series next following the date of such payment to the redemption of Securities of
such series at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price with respect to Securities of such series, together with accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption, with the effect provided in Section 11.06. The Trustee shall select, in
the manner provided in Section 11.03, for redemption on such sinking fund Redemption Date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to utilize that cash and shall thereupon cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series
for the sinking fund to be given in the manner provided in Section 10.04 (and with the effect provided in Section 10.06) for the redemption of Securities in part at the option of the Company. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by
the Trustee to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment with respect to Securities of such series received by the Trustee and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 11.08. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to Securities of any series held by the Trustee at the Maturity of Securities of such series, and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of
such series, shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such series at Maturity. 
  
 On or before each sinking fund Redemption Date provided with respect to
Securities of any series, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash a sum equal to all accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund Redemption Date pursuant to this Section 11.08.

  
 The Trustee shall not redeem any Securities with sinking fund
moneys or give any notice of redemption of Securities by operation of the applicable sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on Securities of such series or of any Event of Default with respect to such series, except
that if the notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee for that
purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund with respect to Securities of any series at the time when any such default or Event of Default with respect to such series shall occur, and any
moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default with respect to such series, be held as security for the payment of all Securities of such series; provided, however, that
in case such default or Event of Default with respect to such series shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 11.08.

 ARTICLE 12 
  
 REPAYMENT AT OPTION OF HOLDERS 
  
 Section 12.01. Applicability of Article. Repayment of
Securities of any series before their Scheduled Maturity Date at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any
series) in accordance with this Article. 
  
 Section 12.02.
Repayment of Securities. Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the
principal amount thereof, together with interest thereon accrued to, but excluding, the Repayment Date specified in the terms of such Securities. On or before the Repayment Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or,
if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Repayment Price of all the Securities which are to be repaid on such date. 
  
 Section 12.03. Exercise of Option. Securities of any series
subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such Securities. To be repaid at the option of the Holder, any Security so providing for such repayment,
with the “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such Security duly completed by the Holder, must be received by the Company at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place
or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 30 days nor later than 15 days prior to the Repayment Date. If less than the entire principal amount of such Security is to be repaid in
accordance with the terms of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in increments of $1,000 unless otherwise specified in the terms of such Security, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to
be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid must be specified. The principal amount of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be
repaid in part, if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be
provided by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company. 
  
 Section 12.04. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and
Payable. If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the portions
thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities
on such Repayment Date) interest on such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, shall cease to accrue. 
  

 56 

 Section 12.05. Securities Repaid in Part. Upon surrender of any Security which is to be
repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series and Scheduled
Maturity Date, of any authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid. 
  
 ARTICLE 13 
  
 SUBORDINATION OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES 
  
 Section 13.01. Agreement to Subordinate. The Company agrees,
and each Holder of Subordinated Securities of each series by accepting such Subordinated Securities agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Securities, all Obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the payment of any
Claims are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or
guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 Each Holder of Subordinated Securities by the Holder’s acceptance thereof acknowledges and agrees that each holder of any Senior Indebtedness,
whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Subordinated Securities, shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on the provisions of this Article in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing
to hold, such Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 Section 13.02. Payment
on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization. Upon or in the event of any distribution to creditors of the Company (a) in a total or partial liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (b) in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property; (c) in an assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Company; or (d) in any marshalling of the Company’s assets and liabilities: 
  
 (i) holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to
receive payment in full in cash of all Obligations due or to become due in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rates specified in the applicable Senior Indebtedness) before the
Holders of Subordinated Securities shall be entitled to receive any payment or distribution with respect to the Subordinated Securities or on account of any Claim; and 
  
 (ii) until all Obligations with respect to Senior Indebtedness (as provided in subsection (i) above) are
paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution (including, without limitation, any payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of
the Subordinated Securities) to which the Holders of Subordinated Securities would be entitled but for this Article shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness; 
  
 except that, in either case, Holders of Subordinated Securities may receive (x) Permitted Junior Securities and (y) payments and other
distributions made from the trust described in Article 4 hereof, as their interests may appear. 
  

 57 

 Section 13.03. Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 (a) Except as may be expressly otherwise set forth in the indenture
supplement with respect to any series of Subordinated Securities, the Company may not make any payment or distribution (including, without limitation, any payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any
other Indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Subordinated Securities) to the Trustee or any Holder of Subordinated Securities in respect of Obligations or Claims with respect to the Subordinated Securities and may not
acquire from the Trustee or any Holder of Subordinated Securities any Subordinated Securities for cash or property (except that Holders of Subordinated Securities may receive (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions
made from the trust described in Article 4 hereof) until all principal, interest and other Obligations with respect to the Senior Indebtedness have been paid in full in cash if: 
  
 (i) a default occurs in the payment when due of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or any
other Obligation with respect to, any Designated Senior Indebtedness (and such default shall not have been cured or waived or shall not have ceased to exist); or 
  
 (ii) any other default occurs and is continuing with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness that
permits the holder or holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness as to which such default relates to accelerate its maturity following notice, the lapse of time, or both (and such default shall not have been cured or waived or shall not have ceased
to exist) and the Trustee receives a notice of such default “a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Representative of any Designated Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 (b) The Company may and shall resume payments on, and distributions in respect of, the Subordinated Securities and may
acquire them upon: 
  
 (i) in the case of a
default referred to in Section 13.03(a)(i) hereof, the date on which such default is cured or waived in accordance with the terms of such Designated Senior Indebtedness; or 
  
 (ii) in the case of a default referred to in Section 13.03(a)(ii) hereof, the earliest of (A) the date on
which such default is cured or waived in accordance with the terms of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or (B) 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received by the Trustee, unless the maturity of any
Designated Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated. 
  
 (c) If
the Trustee receives any such Payment Blockage Notice, no new Payment Blockage Notice shall be delivered pursuant to this Section 13.03 unless and until: 
  
 (i) 360 days shall have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice; and 
  

 58 

 (ii) all scheduled payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Subordinated Securities that have come due have been paid in full in cash. 
  
 (d) No default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis of a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default shall
have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days. 
  
 Section 13.04. Acceleration of Subordinated Securities. If payment of the Subordinated Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall (or shall cause the Trustee to) promptly notify each
Representative of Designated Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration; provided, however, that so long as any Designated Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, any such acceleration shall not become effective, and the Company shall not make, and the
Holders of Subordinated Securities may not accept or receive, any payment with respect to the Subordinated Securities until the day which is five Business Days after the receipt by Representatives of Designated Senior Indebtedness of written notice
of acceleration. Thereafter, the Company may make payments with respect to the Subordinated Securities only in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 13.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. In the event that the Trustee or any Holder of Subordinated Securities receives any payment or
distribution with respect to the Subordinated Securities at a time when the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that such payment or distribution is prohibited by Section 13.03 or Section 13.04 hereof, such payment or
distribution shall be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be segregated from other funds and property of the Trustee or such Holder of Subordinated Securities and be paid forthwith over and delivered in the
same form as received (with any necessary endorsement), upon written request, to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear or their Representative under this Indenture or other agreement (if any) pursuant to which Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance
with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically
set forth in this Article, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Subordinated Securities or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior
Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. 
  
 Section 13.06. Notice by Company. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any
facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Subordinated Securities or of any Claim to violate this Article, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Subordinated
Securities and all Claims to the Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article. 
  

 59 

 Section 13.07. Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash and until the
Subordinated Securities are paid in full in cash, Holders of Subordinated Securities shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other pari passu Indebtedness) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions
applicable to Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Subordinated Securities have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article to holders of Senior
Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Subordinated Securities is not, as between the Company and Holders of Subordinated Securities, a payment by the Company on the Subordinated Securities. 
  
 Section 13.08. Relative Rights. This Article defines the relative
rights of Holders of the Subordinated Securities and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Indenture shall: 
  
 (a) impair, as between the Company and Holders of Subordinated Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Subordinated Securities in accordance with their terms; 
  
 (b) affect the relative rights of Holders of Subordinated Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior
Indebtedness; or 
  
 (c) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of
Subordinated Securities from exercising its available remedies upon a default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Subordinated
Securities. 
  
 Section 13.09. Subordination May Not Be
Impaired. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Securities shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or the Holders of any
Subordinated Securities or by the failure of the Company or any Holder of Subordinated Securities to comply with this Indenture. 
  
 Section 13.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior
Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders of Subordinated Securities shall be entitled
to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of
Subordinated Securities for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or
amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article. 
  
 Section 13.11. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agents. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with 

  

 60 

 
knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and any Paying Agent
may continue to make payments on the Subordinated Securities, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office at least two Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of
any Obligations or any Claim with respect to the Subordinated Securities to violate this Article. Only the Company or a Representative may give the notice. 
  
 Nothing in this Article shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof. The Trustee in its individual or
any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. 
  
 Section 13.12. Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Holder of Subordinated Securities by the
Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article, and appoints the Trustee to act as
the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 5.04 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration
of the time to file such claim, the Representative of Senior Indebtedness is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee or the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their Representative to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holders any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Subordinated Securities or
the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their Representative to vote in respect of the claim or any Holder in any such proceeding. 
  
 Section 13.13. Amendments. The provisions of this Article shall not be
amended or modified except in accordance with Section 9.01 and Section 9.02. 
  
 Section 13.14. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) The agreement contained in this Article shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any Senior Indebtedness is avoided, rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of
Senior Indebtedness upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
  
 (b) The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, or other Obligations relating to, the Subordinated
Securities by reason of any provision of this Article shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.
