2.    Registration Under the 1933 Act.
(a)Exchange Offer Registration.

4

no later than 45 days after the effective date of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly commence the Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Exchange Offer to enable each Holder eligible and electing to exchange Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the 1933 Act, acquires the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and has no arrangements or understandings with any Person to participate in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing such Exchange Securities) to trade such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the 1933 Act or under the securities or blue sky laws of the states of the United States.
In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall:
(i)promptly mail or otherwise transmit, in compliance with the applicable procedures of the depositary for such Registrable Securities, to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;
(ii)keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 Business Days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders and, during the Exchange Offer, offer to all Holders who are legally eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer the opportunity to exchange their Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities;
(iii)use the services of a depositary with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York for the Exchange Offer;
(iv)permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Securities at any time prior to the close of business, Eastern time, on the last Business Day on which the Exchange Offer shall remain open, by sending to the institution and at the address specified in the Prospectus or the related letter of transmittal or related documents setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Subordinated Notes exchanged;
(v)notify each Holder that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest, but will not retain any rights under this Agreement (except in the case of Participating Broker-Dealers as provided herein); and
(vi)otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable laws relating to the Exchange Offer.
The Exchange Securities shall be issued under the Indenture, which shall be qualified under the TIA. The Indenture shall provide that the Exchange Securities and the Subordinated Notes shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any such Exchange Securities and Subordinated Notes may vote or consent) as a single class and shall constitute a single series of debt securities issued under the Indenture.
As soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall:
(i)accept for exchange all Registrable Securities duly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the letter of transmittal which is an exhibit thereto;
5

(ii)deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange by the Company; and
(iii)cause the Trustee promptly to authenticate and deliver Exchange Securities to each Holder of Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.
For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision herein purporting to require physical mailing, delivery or acceptance of any document or instrument, the Company may conduct the Exchange Offer exclusively through the automated tender offer program of the Depositary, provided that this provision shall apply only to Registrable Securities held in the form of beneficial interests in a global note deposited with (or held by a custodian for) the Depositary. 
Interest on each Exchange Security will accrue from the last date on which interest was paid or duly provided for on the Subordinated Notes surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for on such Subordinated Notes, from the Interest Accrual Date. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than (i) that the Exchange Offer, or the making of any exchange by a Holder, does not violate any applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC, (ii) that no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the Exchange Offer which, in the Company’s judgment, would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Company to proceed with the Exchange Offer, and (iii) that the Holders tender the Registrable Securities to the Company in accordance with the Exchange Offer. Each Holder of Registrable Securities (other than Participating Broker-Dealers) who wishes to exchange such Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer will be required to represent that (i) it is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) of the Company, (ii) any Exchange Securities to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (iii) it has no arrangement with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) of the Exchange Securities, and (iv) it is not acting on behalf of any Person who could not truthfully make the statements set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) immediately above, and shall be required to make such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to render the use of Form S-4 or another appropriate form under the 1933 Act available.
(b)Shelf Registration. (i) If, because of any change in law or applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the SEC, the Company is not permitted to effect the Exchange Offer as contemplated by Section 2(a) hereof, or (ii) if for any other reason (A) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not effective within 120 days following the Closing Date or (B) the Exchange Offer is not consummated within 45 days after effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (provided that if the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall become effective after such 120-day period or if the Exchange Offer shall be consummated after such 45-day period, then the Company’s obligations under this clause (ii) arising from the failure of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective within such 120-day period or the failure of the Exchange Offer to be consummated within such 45-day period, respectively, shall terminate), or (iii) if any Holder is not eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer or elects to participate in the Exchange Offer but does not receive Exchange Securities which are freely tradeable without any limitations or restrictions under the 1933 Act, then the Company shall, at its cost:
(A)use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC on or prior to (a) the 180th day after the Closing Date or (b) the 90th day after any such filing obligation arises, whichever is later, a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by the Majority Holders of such Registrable Securities and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement;
6

(B)use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective with the SEC as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than (a) the 225th day after the Closing Date or (b) the 105th day after an obligation to file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement arises, whichever is later . In the event that the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause 2(b)(iii) above, the Company shall file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have effective with the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by such Holder described in clause 2(b)(iii) above;
(C)use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required, in order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders for a period of one year after the latest date on which any Subordinated Notes are originally issued by the Company (subject to extension pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 3) or, if earlier, when all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereunder, or (ii) cease to be Registrable Securities; and
(D)notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any Prospectus forming a part thereof and any supplements thereto comply in all material respects with the 1933 Act, (ii) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any Prospectus forming part of any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement to such Prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, clauses (ii) and (iii) shall not apply to any statement in or omission from a Shelf Registration Statement or a Prospectus made in reliance upon and conformity with information relating to any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, respectively, expressly for use in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus.
The Company further agrees, if necessary, to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement if reasonably requested by the Majority Holders with respect to information relating to the Holders and otherwise as required by Section 3(b) below, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such Shelf Registration Statement to become usable as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.
(c)Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2(a) and 2(b) and, in the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, will reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) designated in writing by the Majority Holders to act as counsel for the Holders of the Registrable Securities in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Company shall not be responsible for reimbursement for the fees and disbursements of such counsel in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000. Each Holder shall pay all fees and disbursements of its counsel other than as set forth in the preceding sentence or in the definition of Registration Expenses and all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.
7

(d)Effective Registration Statement.
(i)The Company shall be deemed not to have used its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or any Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, to become, or to remain, effective during the requisite periods set forth herein if the Company voluntarily takes any action that could reasonably be expected to result in any such Registration Statement not being effective or remaining effective or in the Holders of Registrable Securities (including, under the circumstances contemplated by Section 3(f) hereof, Exchange Securities) covered thereby not being able to exchange or offer and sell such Registrable Securities during that period unless (A) such action is required by applicable law or (B) such action is taken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (but not including avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder), including, but not limited to, the acquisition or divestiture of assets or a material corporate transaction or event, or if the Company determines in good faith that effecting or maintaining the availability of the registration would materially and adversely affect an offering of securities of the Company or if the Company is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which would not be in the best interests of the Company, in each case so long as the Company promptly complies with the notification requirements of Section 3(k) hereof, if applicable. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the accrual of Additional Interest on any Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities.
(ii)An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof shall not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC or becomes effective in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(a) of the 1933 Act; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has become effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement shall be deemed not to have been effective during the period of such interference until the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume.
(iii)During any 365-day period, the Company may, by notice as described in Section 3(e), suspend the availability of a Shelf Registration Statement (and, if the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is being used in connection with the resale of Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(f), the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) and the use of the related Prospectus for up to two periods of up to 60 consecutive days each (except for the consecutive 60-day period immediately prior to final maturity of the Subordinated Notes), but no more than an aggregate of 120 days during any 365-day period, upon (A) the happening of any event or the discovery of any fact referred to in Section 3(e)(vi), or (B) if the Company determines in good faith that effecting or maintaining the availability of the registration would materially and adversely affect an offering of securities of the Company or if the Company is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which would not be in the best interests of the Company, in each case subject to compliance by the Company with its obligations under the last paragraph of Section 3.

(v)if required, a Shelf Registration Statement is not effective on or prior to (a) the 225th day following the Closing Date or (b) the 105th day after an obligation to file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement arises, whichever is later, or
(vi)a Shelf Registration Statement is effective with the SEC but such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective or such Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein ceases to be usable in connection with resales of Registrable Securities for any reason and (A) the aggregate number of days in any consecutive 365-day period for which the Shelf Registration Statement or such Prospectus shall not be effective or usable exceeds 120 days, (B) the Shelf Registration Statement or such Prospectus shall not be effective or usable for more than two periods (regardless of duration) in any consecutive 365-day period or (C) the Shelf Registration Statement or such Prospectus shall not be effective or usable for a period of more than 90 consecutive days, or
(vii)the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is effective with the SEC but, if the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is being used in connection with the resale of Exchange Securities as contemplated by Section 3(f) of this Agreement, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement ceases to be effective or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein ceases to be usable in connection with resales of Exchange Securities due to any act or omission of the Company during the 180-day period referred to in Section 3(f)(B) of this Agreement (as such period may be extended pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 3 of this Agreement) and (A) the aggregate number of days in any consecutive 365-day period for which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or such Prospectus shall not be effective or usable exceeds 120 days, (B) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or such Prospectus shall not be effective or usable for more than two periods (regardless of duration) in any consecutive 365-day period or (C) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall not be effective or usable for a period of more than 90 consecutive days,
(each of the events referred to in clauses (i) through (vii) above being hereinafter called a “Registration Default”), then the per annum interest rate borne by the Registrable Securities shall be increased (“Additional Interest”) by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum immediately following such 90-day period in the case of clause (i) above, immediately following such 120-day period in the case of clause (ii) above, immediately following such 45-day period in the case of clause (iii) above, immediately following any such 180-day period or 90-day period, whichever ends later, in the case of clause (iv) above, immediately following any such 225-day period or 105-day period, as applicable, in the case of clause (v) above, immediately following the 120th day in any consecutive 365-day period, as of the first day of the third period in any consecutive 365-day period or immediately following the 90th consecutive day, whichever occurs first, that a Shelf Registration Statement shall not be effective or a Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein shall not be usable as contemplated by clause (vi) above, or immediately following the 120th day in any consecutive 365-day period, as of the first day of the third period in any consecutive 365-day period or immediately following the 90th consecutive day, whichever occurs first, that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall not be effective or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein shall not be usable as contemplated by clause (vii) above, which rate will be increased by an additional one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum immediately 
9

following each 90-day period that any Additional Interest continues to accrue under any circumstances; provided that, if at any time more than one Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, then, until the next date that there is no Registration Default, the increase in interest rate provided for by this paragraph shall apply as if there occurred a single Registration Default that begins on the date that the earliest such Registration Default occurred and ends on such date that there is no Registration Default; provided further, that the aggregate increase in such annual interest rate may in no event exceed one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum. Upon the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 90-day period described in clause (i) above, the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 120-day period described in clause (ii) above, the consummation of the Exchange Offer after the 45-day period described in clause (iii) above, the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement after the 180-day period or 90-day period, as the case may be, described in clause (iv) above, the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement after the 225-day period or 105-day period, as applicable, described in clause (v) above, or the Shelf Registration Statement once again being effective or the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein becoming usable in connection with resales of Registrable Securities, as the case may be, in the case of clause (vi) above, or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement once again becoming effective or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein becoming usable in connection with resales of Exchange Securities, as the case may be, in the case of clause (vii) thereof, the interest rate borne by the Registrable Securities from the date of such filing, effectiveness, consummation or resumption of effectiveness or usability, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the original interest rate so long as no other Registration Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing at such time and the Company is otherwise in compliance with this paragraph; provided, however, that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, one or more Registration Defaults shall again occur, the interest rate shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions (as if it were the original Registration Default). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company will not be obligated to pay any Additional Interest in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to any Holder of Registrable Securities who fails to timely provide all information with respect to Holder that is reasonably requested by the Company to enable it to timely comply with its obligations under Section 2(b).
The Company shall notify the Trustee within three Business Days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an “Event Date”). Additional Interest shall be paid by depositing with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of Registrable Securities, on or before the applicable interest payment date, immediately available funds in sums sufficient to pay the Additional Interest then due. The Additional Interest due shall be payable on each interest payment date to the record Holder of Registrable Securities entitled to receive the interest payment to be paid on such date as set forth in the Indenture. Each obligation to pay Additional Interest shall be deemed to accrue from and including the day following the applicable Event Date.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Holder who was, at the time the Exchange Offer was pending and consummated, eligible to exchange, and did not validly tender, its Subordinated Notes for Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer will not be entitled to receive any Additional Interest.
(f)Specific Enforcement. Without limiting the remedies available to the Holders or any Participating Broker-Dealer, the Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Sections 2(a) and 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Holders or the Participating Broker-Dealers for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, any Holder and any Participating Broker-Dealer may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Sections 2(a) and 2(b).

(e)in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Holder of Registrable Securities and counsel for such Holders promptly and, if requested by such Holder or counsel, confirm such advice in writing promptly

“If the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of Exchange Securities. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities, it represents that the Registrable Securities to be exchanged for Exchange Securities were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other 
12

trading activities and acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the 1933 Act;”
(B) to the extent any Notifying Broker-Dealer participates in the Exchange Offer, (i) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a period of 180 days (subject to extension pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3) following the last date on which exchanges are accepted pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and (ii) the Company will comply, insofar as it relates to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Prospectus included therein and the offering and sale of Exchange Securities pursuant thereto, with its obligations under Section 2(b)(D), the last paragraph of Section 2(b), Sections 3(c), 3(d), 3(e), 3(g), 3(i), 3(j), 3(k), 3(o), 3(p), 3(q), 3(r) and 3(s), and the last three paragraphs of this Section 3 as if all references therein to a Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus included therein and the Holders of Registrable Securities referred, mutatis mutandis, to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Prospectus included therein and the applicable Notifying Broker-Dealers and, for purposes of this Section 3(f), all references in any such paragraphs or sections to the “Majority Holders” shall be deemed to mean, solely insofar as relates to this Section 3(f), the Notifying Broker-Dealers who are the Holders of the majority in aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Securities which are Registrable Securities; and
(C) , the Company shall not be required to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement as would otherwise be contemplated by Section 3(b) or 3(k) hereof, or take any other action as a result of this Section 3(f), for a period exceeding 180 days (subject to extension pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3) after the last date on which exchanges are accepted pursuant to the Exchange Offer and Notifying Broker-Dealers shall not be authorized by the Company to, and shall not, deliver such Prospectus after such period in connection with resales contemplated by this Section 3;

(j)in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and cause such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the Indenture) and in a form eligible for deposit with the Depositary and registered in such names as the selling Holders may reasonably request in writing at least two Business Days prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities;
(k)in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any event or the discovery of any facts as contemplated by Section 3(e)(vi) hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or the related 
13

Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain at the time of such delivery any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company agrees to notify each Holder to suspend use of the Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and each Holder hereby agrees to suspend use of the Prospectus until the Company has amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission. At such time as such public disclosure is otherwise made or the Company determines that such disclosure is not necessary, in each case to correct any misstatement of a material fact or to include any omitted material fact, the Company agrees promptly to notify each Holder of such determination and to furnish each Holder such number of copies of the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as such Holder may reasonably request;
(l)obtain CUSIP and ISIN numbers for all Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be, not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement, and provide the Trustee with printed or word-processed certificates for the Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with the Depositary;

(n)in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon request make available for inspection by representatives of the Holders of the Registrable Securities participating in any disposition pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and any one counsel or accountant retained by such Holders (with such inspection to occur at such time as mutually agreed between the Company and such Persons), all financial statements and other records, documents and properties of the Company reasonably requested by any such Persons, and cause the respective officers, directors, employees, and any other agents of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Persons in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement; provided, that any such Persons shall be required to execute a customary confidentiality agreement;
(o)in the case of a Shelf Registration, a reasonable time prior to filing any Shelf Registration Statement, any Prospectus forming a part thereof, any amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to such Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Holders of Registrable Securities and to counsel for any such Holders, and make such changes in any such document prior to the filing thereof as the Holders of Registrable Securities, or any of their counsel may reasonably request, and cause the representatives of the Company to be available for discussion of such documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders of Registrable Securities and shall not at any time make any filing of any such document of which such Holders or their counsel shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy or to which such Holders or their counsel shall reasonably object within a reasonable time period;
(p)[RESERVED];
(q)in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be rated by the same rating agency that initially rated the Subordinated Notes, if so requested by the Majority Holders of Registrable Securities, unless the Registrable Securities are already so rated;
(r)otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and, with respect to each Registration Statement and each post-effective 
14

amendment, if any, thereto and each filing by the Company of an Annual Report on Form 10-K, make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering at least twelve months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 thereunder; and
(s)cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA.
In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may (as a condition to such Holder’s participation in the Shelf Registration) require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and require such Holder to agree in writing to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder.
In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees and, in the event that any Participating Broker-Dealer is using the Prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in connection with the sale of Exchange Securities pursuant to Section 3(f), each such Participating Broker-Dealer agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or the discovery of any facts of the kind described in Section 3(e)(ii), 3(e)(iii) or 3(e)(v) through 3(e)(vii) hereof, such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until receipt by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, of (i) the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(k) hereof or (ii) written notice from the Company that the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, respectively, are once again effective or that no supplement or amendment is required. If so directed by the Company, such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in its possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the accrual of Additional Interest on any Registrable Securities.
If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company shall be deemed to have used its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement or, in the case of Section 3(f), the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as the case may be, effective during such period of suspension; provided that (i) such period of suspension shall not exceed the time periods provided in Section 2(d)(iii) hereof and (ii) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file and have become effective (if an amendment) as soon as practicable thereafter an amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or both, as the case may be, or the Prospectus included therein and shall extend the period during which the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or both, as the case may be, shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement (and, if applicable, the period during which Participating Broker-Dealers may use the Prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3(f) hereof) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the earlier of the date when the Holders or Participating Broker-Dealers, respectively, shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions and the effective date of written notice from the Company to the Holders or Participating Broker-Dealers, respectively, that the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, respectively, are once again effective or that no supplement or amendment is required.
4.    Indemnification and Contribution.
(a)The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each Participating Broker-Dealer and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, as follows:
15

(i)against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii)against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission described in subparagraph (i) above; provided that any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and
(iii)against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including, subject to Section 4(c) below, the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any indemnified party), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission described in subparagraph (i) above, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer with respect to such Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(b)Each Holder, severally but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, each Participating Broker-Dealer and each other selling Holder and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, any Participating Broker-Dealer or any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 4(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus included therein (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such Holder furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.
(c)Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counsel to the respective indemnified parties shall be selected as follows: (i) counsel to the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and all Persons, if any, who control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or 
16

Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall be selected by the Company; (ii) counsel to the Holders (other than Participating Broker-Dealers) and all Persons, if any, who control any Holders (other than any Participating Broker-Dealers) within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall be selected by the Holders who held or hold, as the case may be, a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities held by all such Holders; and (iii) counsel to the Participating Broker-Dealers and all Persons, if any, who control any such Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall be selected by the Participating Broker-Dealers who held or hold, as the case may be, a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Securities referred to in Section 3(f) hereof held by all such Participating Broker-Dealers.  In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable for (A) the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from the indemnifying parties’ own counsel for the Company and all other Persons referred to in clause (i) of this paragraph, (B) the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from the indemnifying parties’ own counsel for all Holders (other than Participating Broker-Dealers) and all other Persons referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph, and (C) the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from the indemnifying parties’ own counsel for all Participating Broker-Dealers and all other Persons referred to in clause (iv) of this paragraph, in each case in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation unless (A) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the indemnifying party) or (B) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 4 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue 
17

statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or parties or such indemnified party or parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e)The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 4 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, other than in the case of intentional misrepresentation or omission of a material fact, no Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which Registrable Securities sold by it were offered exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
For purposes of this Section 4, each Person, if any, who controls a Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
The respective obligations of the Holders and Participating Broker-Dealers to contribute pursuant to this Section 4 are several in proportion to the principal amount of Subordinated Notes purchased by them and not joint.
The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 4 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer or any Person controlling any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any Person controlling the Company, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.
5.    Miscellaneous.
(a)Rule 144 and Rule 144A. For so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the 1934 Act, the Company covenants that it will file all reports required to be filed by it under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, that if it ceases to be so required to file such reports, it will upon the request of any Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Securities (i) make publicly available such information (including, without limitation, the information specified in Rule 144(c)(2) under the 1933 Act) as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered, promptly following a request by any Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Securities or any prospective purchaser or transferee designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, such information (including, without limitation, the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4) under 
18

the 1933 Act) as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and (iii) take such further action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in each case to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell its Registrable Securities without registration under the 1933 Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (x) Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (y) Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (z) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
(b)No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered into nor will the Company on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof; provided that the Company will not be precluded from entering into any agreement after the date hereof which may or does result, directly or indirectly, in the payment of Additional Interest. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not and will not in any way conflict in any material respects with and are not and will not be inconsistent in any material respects with the rights granted to the holders of any of the Company’s other issued and outstanding securities under any other agreements entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
(c)Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or departure.

certain terms of which were established by means of an Officer’s Certificate dated March 20, 2020 (the “2020 Officer’s Certificate”), does hereby certify to the Trustee that: 

 

	1.	 The Securities of the twenty-fifth series to be issued under the Indenture shall be initially issued in a
series designated “2.70% Senior Secured Notes due 2051” (the “2051 Notes”); the 2051 Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto; 

 

	2.	 (A) The 2051 Notes shall be initially authenticated and delivered in the aggregate principal amount of
$500,000,000 (the “Initial 2051 Notes”, and together with the Additional 2030 Notes, the “Notes”); provided, however, that the Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Initial 2051 Notes, create and
issue additional 2051 Notes ranking equally with, and otherwise identical in all respects to, the Initial 2051 Notes (except for the issue price therefor, the date from which interest first accrues thereon and the first interest payment date
therefor), which additional 2051 Notes shall form a single series with the Initial 2051 Notes; 

  

	3.	 The 2051 Notes shall mature and the principal thereof shall be due and payable together with all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon on November 15, 2051, and the Company shall not have any right to extend the Maturity of the 2051 Notes as contemplated in Section 301(d) of the Indenture; 

  
 1

of the Notes and the Indenture may be served at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York; the corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon, as agent of the Trustee, will initially be the agency of the Company for such
payment, registration and registration of transfers and exchanges and service of notices and demands, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent for all such purposes; and the Trustee will initially be the Security Registrar and the
Paying Agent for the Notes; provided, however, that the Company reserves the right to establish or change, by one or more Officer’s Certificates, any such office or agency and such agent. 

 

	7.	 The Regular Record Date for the interest payable on any given Interest Payment Date with respect to the 2051
Notes shall be the 15th calendar day before such Interest Payment Date; 

  

	8.	 The 2051 Notes are subject to redemption as provided in the form thereof set forth in Exhibit A;

  

	9.	 The Notes are “Benefitted Securities” and shall have the benefit of the covenant of the Company
contained in Section 707 of the Indenture and, pursuant to Section 707(b)(i) of the Indenture, the Notes are and shall be secured equally and ratably with the Secured Debt under the Indenture and the Additional Secured Debt pursuant to,
and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, dated as of May 15, 2008, as amended by the First Amendment to Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, dated as of March 2,
2009, the Second Amendment to Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, dated as of September 3, 2010 and the Third Amendment to Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, dated as of November 10, 2011 (as amended,
the “Deed of Trust”), by the Company to and for the benefit of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to The Bank of New York Mellon, formerly The Bank of New York) as collateral agent and trustee thereunder;

  

	10.	 The 2051 Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof;

  

	11.	 No service charge shall be made for the registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes; provided, however,
that the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with the exchange or transfer; 

  
 2 

	12.	 The 2051 Notes shall be initially issued in global form registered in the name of Cede & Co. (as
nominee for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)); provided, that the Company reserves the right to provide for another depositary, registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act, to act as depositary for the global 2051
Notes (DTC and any such successor depositary, and any successor to any thereto, the “Depositary”); beneficial interests in 2051 Notes issued in global form may not be exchanged in whole or in part for individual certificated 2051
Notes in definitive form, and no transfer of a global 2051 Note in whole or in part may be registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or its nominee except that if the Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the global 2051 Notes or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor depositary for such global 2051 Notes has not been appointed
within 90 days, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive 2051 Notes, will authenticate and deliver 2051 Notes in definitive certificated form in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the global 2051 Notes representing such 2051 Notes in exchange for such global 2051 Notes, such definitive 2051 Notes to be registered in the names provided by the Depositary; each global
2051 Note (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2051 Notes to be represented by such global 2051 Note, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or
its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary, its nominee, any custodian for the Depositary or otherwise pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend restricting the transfer of such
global 2051 Note to any Person other than the Depositary or its nominee; none of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any Authenticating Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to, or payments made on account of, or transfers of, beneficial ownership interests in a global 2051 Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests; and the 2051 Notes in global
form will contain restrictions on transfer, substantially as described in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto; 

  

	13.	 The Notes will be initially issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”). Each Note, whether in a global form or in a certificated form, shall bear the non-registration legend and the registration rights legend in substantially the form set
forth in such applicable form, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company, such agreement to be confirmed in writing to the Trustee. DTC or its nominee shall be the Holder of such global Note for all purposes under the Indenture and the Notes, and
beneficial owners with respect to such applicable global Note shall hold their interests pursuant to applicable procedures of the Depositary. The Company, the Trustee and the Security Registrar shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all
purposes of the Indenture relating to such global Note (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the beneficial owners of such global Note) as the sole Holder of such
global Note and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. Nothing in the Indenture, the Notes or this certificate shall 

  
 3 

	 	
be construed to require the Company to register any Notes under the Securities Act, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Company, confirmed in writing to the Trustee, or to make any transfer
of such Notes in violation of applicable law. The Company has entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Notes pursuant to which, among other things, the Notes may be exchanged for notes registered under the
Securities Act (the “Exchange Notes”). The Exchange Notes shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A with respect to the 2051 Notes and Exhibit C with respect to the Additional 2030 Notes, hereto, but, without the non-registration legend, the registration rights legend, the Certificate of Transfer and the provisions for Additional Interest. The Trustee, at the request of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver Exchange
Notes in exchange for an equal principal amount of Notes; 

  

	14.	 It is contemplated that beneficial interests in 2051 Notes owned by “qualified institutional buyers”
(as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) (“QIBs”) or sold to QIBs in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act will be represented by one or more separate certificates in global form registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as registered owner and as nominee for DTC; beneficial interests in 2051 Notes of each series sold to foreign purchasers pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act will be evidenced by one or more separate certificates in
global form (each a “Regulation S Global Certificate”) and will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as registered owner and as nominee for DTC for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream Banking;

 In connection with any transfer of 2051 Notes, or of any transfer of a beneficial interest in one global 2051 Note to
another global 2051 Note, as the case may be, the Trustee, the Security Registrar and the Company shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the certificates and
other information (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A for use in connection with the transfer of the 2051 Notes in certificated form, or Exhibit B, for use in connection with the transfer of beneficial interests in one certificate in global
form to another certificate in global form or to a 2051 Note in certificated form, or otherwise) received from the Holders and any transferees of any 2051 Notes, or from the transferors or transferees of any beneficial interest in a global 2051 Note
transferred to another global 2051 Note, as the case may be, regarding the validity, legality and due authorization of any such transfer, the eligibility of the transferee to receive such 2051 Note or such beneficial interest, as the case may be,
and any other facts and circumstances related to such transfer; 
  

	15.	 None of the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar shall have any liability for any acts or omissions
of the Depositary, for any Depositary records of beneficial interests, for any transactions between the Depositary or any participant member of the Depositary and/or beneficial owners, for any transfers of beneficial interests in the 2051 Notes, or
in respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary or by any participant member of the Depositary or any beneficial owner of any interest in any 2051 Notes held through any such participant member of the Depositary; 

 

	16.	 If the Company shall make any deposit of money and/or Eligible Obligations with respect to any 2051 Notes, or
any portion of the principal amount thereof, as contemplated by Section 801 of the Indenture, the Company shall not deliver an Officer’s Certificate described in clause (z) in the first paragraph of said Section 801 unless the
Company shall also deliver to the Trustee, together with such Officer’s Certificate, either: 

  
 4 

 (A) an instrument wherein the Company, notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of its
indebtedness in respect of such 2051 Notes, shall assume the obligation (which shall be absolute and unconditional) to irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent such additional sums of money, if any, or additional Eligible Obligations
(meeting the requirements of Section 801), if any, or any combination thereof, at such time or times, as shall be necessary, together with the money and/or Eligible Obligations theretofore so deposited, to pay when due the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest due and to become due on such 2051 Notes or portions thereof, all in accordance with and subject to the provisions of said Section 801; provided, however, that such instrument may state that the obligation of the
Company to make additional deposits as aforesaid shall be subject to the delivery to the Company by the Trustee of a notice asserting the deficiency accompanied by an opinion of an independent public accountant of nationally recognized standing,
selected by the Trustee, showing the calculation thereof; or 
 (B) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as a result of a change in law
occurring after the date of this certificate, the Holders of such 2051 Notes, or portions of the principal amount thereof, will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the satisfaction and
discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, at the same times and in the same manner as if such satisfaction and discharge had not been effected; 

 

	17.	 The Eligible Obligations with respect to the 2051 Notes of each series shall be Government Obligations;

  

	18.	 The 2051 Notes shall have such other terms and provisions as are provided in the form thereof set forth in
Exhibit A hereto; 

  

	19.	 The Additional 2030 Notes shall rank equally with, and otherwise be identical in all respects to, the
$400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 heretofore authenticated, delivered and issued under the Indenture (except for the date from which interest first accrues thereon and the first interest payment date
therefor) (the “Initial 2030 Notes”), and the Additional 2030 Notes shall form a single series of Securities with the Initial 2030 Notes, which Additional 2030 Notes shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto
and shall have the terms and provisions as are provided for in the 2020 Officer’s Certificate, except as otherwise provided in Exhibit C attached hereto; 

 

	20.	 No Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred or is occurring; and to the knowledge of the undersigned,
(i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing which entitles the Secured Parties (as defined in the Deed of Trust) under the Deed of Trust, or any of them, to accelerate the
maturity of the indebtedness secured thereby; 

  
 5 

	21.	 Subject to Section 22 of the Deed of Trust, the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness issuable under
and secured by the Deed of Trust is unlimited, and the aggregate principal indebtedness now proposed to be issued under and secured by the Deed of Trust is $10,126,804,000, consisting of Indenture Notes Obligations (as defined in the Deed of Trust)
in the aggregate principal amount of $9,914,804,000 (including the $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes being issued on the date hereof) and other Additional Obligations (as defined in the Deed of Trust) in the aggregate principal amount
of $212,000,000; 

  

	22.	 The undersigned has read all of the covenants and conditions contained in the Indenture, and the definitions in
the Indenture relating thereto, relating to the issuance and authentication and delivery of the Notes and to the creation or existence of Secured Debt pursuant to Section 707(a) and Section 707(b) of the Indenture, and in respect of
compliance with which this certificate is made; 

  

	23.	 The statements contained in this certificate are based upon the familiarity of the undersigned with the
Indenture, the documents accompanying this certificate, and upon discussions by the undersigned with officers and employees of the Company familiar with the matters set forth herein; 

 

	24.	 In the opinion of the undersigned, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him
to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenants and conditions have been complied with; 

  

	25.	 In the opinion of the undersigned, such conditions and covenants, and all conditions precedent provided for in
the Indenture (including covenants compliance with which constitutes a condition precedent) relating to the authentication and delivery of the Notes as requested in the accompanying Company Order and to the creation or existence of Secured Debt
pursuant to Section 707(a) and Section 707(b) of the Indenture, have been complied with; and 

  

	26.	 The exchange of copies of this certificate and of signature pages that are executed by manual signatures that
are scanned, photocopied or faxed or by other electronic signing created on an electronic platform (such as DocuSign) or by digital signing (such as Adobe Sign), in each case that is approved by the Trustee, shall constitute effective execution and
delivery of this certificate for all purposes. Signatures of the Company hereon that are executed by manual signature that are scanned, photocopied or faxed or by other electronic signing created on an electronic platform (such as DocuSign) or by
digital signing (such as Adobe Sign), in each case that is approved by the Trustee, shall be deemed to be the original signature of the Company for all purposes of this certificate and may be used in lieu of an original signature manually executed
in ink. 

 Anything in the Indenture or the Securities (including the Notes) to the contrary notwithstanding, for the
purposes of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, the Notes and any document to be signed in connection with the Indenture or the Notes (other than the Notes themselves) (including amendments, supplements, waivers, consents and other
modifications, Officer’s Certificates, Company Orders and Opinions of Counsel and 

  
 6 

 
other issuance, authentication and delivery documents, including documents delivered in connection with the Deed of Trust) or the transactions contemplated hereby may be signed by manual
signatures that are scanned, photocopied or faxed or other electronic signatures created on an electronic platform (such as DocuSign) or by digital signature (such as Adobe Sign), in each case that is approved by the Trustee, and contract formations
on electronic platforms approved by the Trustee, and the keeping of records in electronic form, are hereby authorized, and each shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature in ink or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be.

 ONCOR
ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY LLC 
 2.70% SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2051 

ONCOR ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY LLC, a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein
referred to as the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                                        
                                         
                                         
           or registered assigns, the principal sum of                  DOLLARS ($
                ) on November 15, 2051, and to pay interest on said principal sum semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and
November 15 of each year commencing May 15, 2022 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) at the rate of 2.70% per annum until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the Securities of this series will
accrue from and including November 16, 2021, to and excluding the first Interest Payment Date, and thereafter will accrue from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. No interest will
accrue on the Securities with respect to the day on which the Securities mature. If the Company does not comply with certain of its obligations under the registration rights agreement dated November 16, 2021 between the Company and the parties
named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), this Security shall, in accordance with Section 2(e) of the Registration Rights Agreement, bear additional interest (“Additional Interest”) in addition to the interest
otherwise provided for hereunder. For purposes of this Security, the term “interest” shall be deemed to include any such Additional Interest. In the event that any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of interest
payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date. The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on

thereto, as such address shall appear on the Security Register, and provided, further, that if such Person is a securities depositary, such payment may be made by such other means in lieu of check as shall be agreed upon by the Company, the Trustee
and such Person. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture and in the Officer’s Certificate establishing the terms of the Securities of this series. 
 This Security is one of a duly

amendments or supplements thereto, including Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of May 15, 2008, called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank
of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to The Bank of New York Mellon, formerly The Bank of New York), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is

Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Security shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder thereof to
all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof. 
 This Security is
subject to redemption at the election of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at any time prior to May 15, 2051, at a redemption price as calculated by the Company equal to the greater of: 

 

	 	•	 	 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series being redeemed, or 

 

	 	•	 	 (i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (including the
portion of any such interest accrued to the redemption date) on the Securities of this series being redeemed that would be due if the Securities matured on May 15, 2051, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points less (ii) the interest accrued to the redemption date on the Securities of this
series being redeemed, 

 plus, in each case, accrued interest on those Notes of this series to, but not including, the
redemption date of the Securities of this series being redeemed. 

 This Security is subject to redemption at the election of the Company, in whole at any time
or in part from time to time, at any time on or after May 15, 2051, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on those Securities of this series
to, but not including, the redemption date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum
equal to: (1) the weekly average yield to maturity representing the average of the daily yields appearing at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the relevant calculation date in the most recently published Data Download Program designated
“H.15” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the

Term”); provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed or more than one maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Term of the
Securities of this series to be redeemed and no maturity exactly corresponds to the Remaining Term, the weekly average yield for (A) the published maturity closest to but shorter than the Remaining Term and (B) the published maturity
closest to but longer than the Remaining Term, both to be determined as described above, and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis; or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is
not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the
applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the related Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated by the Company on the third business day preceding
the redemption date. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury
Dealer selected by the Company as having a maturity comparable to the Remaining Term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Term.

Government securities dealer in New York City appointed by the Company.

respect to any redemption date, the average, as calculated by the Reference Treasury Dealer, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing

Notice of redemption (other than at the option of the Holder) shall be given by mail to Holders of Securities, not less than 15 days prior to
the date fixed for redemption, all as provided in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption at the election of the Company as aforesaid may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the applicable

 
Paying Agent or Agents of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this Security on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption; a notice of
redemption so conditioned shall be of no force or effect if such money is not so received and, in such event, the Company shall not be required to redeem this Security. 

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series of like tenor representing the
unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

as collateral agent and trustee thereunder. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding of all series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Security. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the
right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding in respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing

 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

(a) Securities of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of this series called for redemption or (b) any Security so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. The Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of the Securities of this series for a period of 15 days next preceding an Interest Payment

registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (C) so long as Securities of this series are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a Person whom such Holder reasonably believes is a “qualified
institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A that purchases for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A,
(D) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (E) in accordance with another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (and based upon
an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company), or (F) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 

 
Securities Act, and each Holder is further deemed to agree to provide to any Person purchasing any of the Securities of this series from it a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the
Securities of this series are restricted as stated herein. 
 Each Holder shall be deemed to understand that, on any proposed resale of any
Securities of this series pursuant to the exemption from registration under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, any Holder making any such proposed resale will be required to furnish to the Trustee and the Company such certifications, legal opinions
and other information as the Trustee and the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions.

State of Texas shall mandatorily govern.

premium, if any, or interest on any Securities, or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture,
against, and no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder, member, officer or director, as such, past, present or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either
directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and
understood that the Indenture and all the Securities are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the
Indenture and the issuance of the Securities. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred
to herein by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

accrue from and including November 15, 2021, to and excluding the first Interest Payment Date, and thereafter will accrue from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. No interest will

named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), this Security shall, in accordance with Section 2(e) of the Registration Rights Agreement, bear additional interest (“Additional Interest”) in addition to the interest
otherwise provided for hereunder. For purposes of this Security, the term “interest” shall be deemed to include any such Additional Interest. In the event that any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of interest
payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date. The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
the 15th calendar day before such Interest Payment Date (each a “Regular Record Date”), except that interest payable at Maturity will be payable to the Person to whom principal shall be
paid. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities)

an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company), or (F) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and each Holder is further deemed to agree to provide to any Person purchasing any of the Securities of this
series from it a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Securities of this series are restricted as stated herein.

this series pursuant to the exemption from registration under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, any Holder making any such proposed resale will be required to furnish to the Trustee and the Company such certifications, legal opinions and other
information as the Trustee and the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions.

premium, if any, or interest on any Securities, or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture,
against, and no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder, member, officer or director, as such, past, present or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either
directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and
understood that the Indenture and all the Securities are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the
Indenture and the issuance of the Securities.
