Form of Change in Control Severance Agreement

 Exhibit 10.4 
 QLOGIC CORPORATION 
 CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 

THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
[            , 20    ] by and between QLogic Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
[                    ] (the “Executive”). 
 RECITALS 
 A. The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the
Company entering into a severance agreement with the Executive. 
 B. The Executive is a key executive of the Company.

 C. Should the possibility of a Change in Control of the Company arise, the Board believes it is imperative that the Company
and the Board be able to rely upon the Executive to continue in his or her position, and that the Company should be able to receive and rely upon the Executive’s advice, if requested, as to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders
without concern that the Executive might be distracted by the personal uncertainties and risks created by the possibility of a Change in Control. 
 D. Should the possibility of a Change in Control arise, in addition to his or her regular duties, the Executive may be called upon to assist in the assessment of such possible Change in Control, advise
management and the Board as to whether such Change in Control would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and to take such other actions as the Board might determine to be appropriate. 

E. This Agreement provides the benefits the Executive will be entitled to receive upon certain terminations of employment in connection
with a Change in Control from and after the Effective Date and supersedes and negates all previous agreements with respect to such benefits. 
 NOW THEREFORE, to help assure the Company that it will have the continued dedication of the Executive and the availability of his or her advice and counsel notwithstanding the possibility, threat,
or occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, and to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company in the face of these circumstances and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

 Article 1. Term 
 This Agreement shall be effective as of [            , 20    ] (the “Effective Date”). This
Agreement will continue in effect through [            , 20    ]. However, as of
[            , 20    ] and each year thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall be extended automatically for one (1) additional year (such that on
[            , 20    ] the term of this Agreement shall be extended through
[            , 20    ] and so on), unless the Committee delivers written notice prior to such
[                    ] to the Executive that this Agreement will not be extended or further extended, as the case may be, and if such notice
is given this Agreement will terminate at the end of the term then in progress. 

  
 1 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Change in Control occurs during the original
or any extended term of this Agreement, this Agreement will remain in effect for the longer of: (i) twenty-four (24) months beyond the month in which such Change in Control occurred; or (ii) until all obligations of the Company
hereunder have been fulfilled, and until all benefits required hereunder have been paid to the Executive. For purposes of clarity, subject to Section 3.1, benefits shall be payable to the Executive under this Agreement only with respect to a
single Change in Control of the Company. Accordingly, no Change in Control after the first Change in Control shall be considered for purposes of this Agreement.

 provided, however, that a transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control unless it is
a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the Company, or a change “in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall a transaction or other event that occurred prior to the Effective Date constitute a Change in Control. 
  

	 	(i)	“Code” means the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

 

	 	(j)	“Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board.

	 	(m)	“Effective Date” has the meaning given to such term in Article 1 hereof. 

 

	 	(n)	“Exchange Act” means the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

 

	 	(o)	“Executive” means the individual identified in the first sentence, and on the signature page, of this Agreement. 

 

	 	(p)	“Good Reason” means, without the Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any one or more of the following:

  

	 	(i)	A material reduction in the nature or status of the Executive’s authorities, duties, and/or responsibilities (when such authorities, duties, and/or
responsibilities are viewed in the aggregate) from their level in effect on the day immediately prior to the start of the Protected Period, other than an insubstantial and inadvertent act that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of
notice thereof given by the Executive. The change in status of the Company from a publicly-traded company to a company the securities of which are not publicly-traded (including any related termination of the Company’s reporting obligations
under the Exchange Act) shall not, in and of itself, constitute Good Reason or a material reduction in the nature or status of the Executive’s authorities, duties, and/or responsibilities. 

 

	 	(ii)	A reduction by the Company in either the Executive’s Base Salary or the Executive’s Annual Bonus opportunity as in effect immediately prior to the start of

existing programs and coverage levels; provided, however, that the Executive’s level of coverage under all such programs must be at least as great as is provided to other senior executives of the Company. 

 

	 	(iv)	The failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in
Article 7. 

  

	 	(v)	The Executive is informed by the Company that his or her principal place of employment for the Company will be relocated to a location that is more than fifty
(50) miles from his or her principal place of employment for the Company at the start of the corresponding Protected Period. 

  

	 	(vi)	A repudiation or breach by the Company or any successor company of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 

The Executive’s right to terminate employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive’s incapacity due to
physical or mental illness. The Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute a consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstances constituting Good Reason herein; provided, however, that if the Executive
does not terminate employment and claim Good Reason for such termination within ninety (90) days after the Executive has knowledge of an event or circumstance that would constitute Good Reason, then the Executive shall be deemed to have waived
his or her right to claim Good Reason as to that specific fact or circumstance (except that the event or circumstance may be considered for purposes of determining whether any subsequent, separate, event or circumstance constitutes Good Reason; for
example, and without limitation, a reduction in the Executive’s authorities that is deemed waived by operation of this clause may be considered for purposes of determining whether any subsequent reduction in the Executive’s authorities
(when taken into consideration with the first reduction) constitutes a “material reduction” in the nature or status of the Executive’s authorities from their level in effect on the day immediately prior to the start of the Protected
Period). In addition, any such event or circumstance shall not constitute “Good Reason” unless both (x) the Executive provides written notice to the Company of the event or circumstance claimed to constitute Good Reason within thirty
(30) days of the initial existence of such event or circumstance , and (y) the Company fails to remedy such event or circumstance within thirty (30) days of receiving such written notice thereof. 

  
 6 

	 	(q)	“Protected Period” with respect to a Change in Control of the Company shall mean the period commencing on the date that is six (6) months prior to
the date of such Change in Control and ending on the date of such Change in Control. 

  

	 	(r)	“Qualifying Termination” has the meaning given to such term in Section 3.2(a). 

 

	 	(s)	As used herein, a “Separation from Service” occurs when the Executive dies, retires, or otherwise has a termination of employment with the Company that
constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1), without regard to the optional alternative definitions available thereunder. 

 

	 	(t)	“Severance Benefits” means the payments and/or benefits provided in Section 3.3. 

 

	 	(u)	“Severance Date” means the date on which the Executive’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates for any reason (whether or
not as a result of a Qualifying Termination). 

  

	 	(v)	“Subsidiary” means any corporation or other entity a majority of whose outstanding voting stock or voting power is beneficially owned directly or
indirectly by the Company. 

 Article 3. Severance Benefits 

3.1. Right to Severance Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company the Severance Benefits described in
Section 3.3 if the Executive has incurred a Qualifying Termination and satisfies the release requirements set forth in Section 3.7. 
 The Executive shall not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits if his or her employment terminates (regardless of the reason) before the Protected Period corresponding to a Change in Control of the
Company or more than twenty-four (24) months after the date of a Change in Control of the Company. 
 3.2. Qualifying
Termination. 
  

	 	(a)	Subject to Sections 3.2(c), 3.4, and 3.5, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events within the Protected Period corresponding to a Change in Control of
the Company, or within twenty-four (24) calendar months following the date of a Change in Control of the Company shall constitute a “Qualifying Termination”: 

 

	 	(i)	An involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for reasons other than Cause; or 

 

	 	(ii)	A voluntary termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason. 

  
 7 

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Executive’s termination of employment on account of reaching mandatory retirement age, as such
age may be defined from time to time in policies adopted by the Company prior to the commencement of the Protected Period, and consistent with applicable law, shall not be a Qualifying Termination. 

 

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Executive’s Severance Benefits under this Agreement shall be reduced by the severance benefits
(including, without limitation, any other change-in-control severance benefits and any other severance benefits generally) that the Executive may be entitled to under any other plan, program, agreement or other arrangement with the Company
(including, without limitation, any such benefits provided for by an employment agreement). For purposes of the foregoing, any cash severance benefits payable to the Executive under any other plan, program, agreement or other arrangement with the
Company shall offset the cash severance benefits otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis. For purposes of the foregoing, non-cash severance benefits to be provided to the Executive under any other plan,
program, agreement or other arrangement with the Company shall offset any corresponding benefits otherwise to be provided to the Executive under this Agreement or, if there are no corresponding benefits otherwise to be provided to the Executive
under this Agreement, the value of such benefits shall offset the cash severance benefits otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If the amount of other benefits to be offset against the cash severance
benefits otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement in accordance with the preceding two sentences exceeds the amount of cash severance benefits otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement, then the excess may be used to
offset other non-cash severance benefits otherwise to be provided to the Executive under this Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis. For purposes of this paragraph, the Committee shall reasonably determine the value of any non-cash benefits.

 3.3. Description of Severance Benefits. In the event that the Executive becomes entitled to receive
Severance Benefits, as provided in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.8, the Company shall pay and provide to the Executive (in addition to the Accrued Obligations) the following: 
  

	 	(a)	 The Company will pay to the Executive an amount equal to one (1) times the sum of (i) the Executive’s Base Salary and (ii) the
Executive’s Annual Bonus. For purposes of this Section 3.3(a), the Executive’s “Base Salary” shall be deemed to be the Executive’s highest annualized rate of Base Salary in effect at any time after the commencement of
the Protected Period and on or before the Executive’s Severance Date, and the Executive’s “Annual Bonus” shall be the greater of (x) the Executive’s maximum Annual Bonus opportunity for the fiscal year in which
the Executive’s Severance Date occurs, and (y) the highest aggregate bonus(es) paid by the Company to the Executive for any one of the three (3) full fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the Executive’s Severance
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if the Executive would be entitled to a greater cash severance payment in the circumstances under the terms of any employment agreement then in effect than the amount determined under the first

  
 8 

	 	
sentence of this Section 3.3(a), the Executive shall be entitled to such greater cash severance payment only and no additional payment shall be made under this Section 3.3(a).

  

	 	(b)	The Company will pay or reimburse the Executive for his or her premiums charged to continue medical coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act (“COBRA”), at the same or reasonably equivalent medical coverage for the Executive (and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents) as in effect immediately prior to the Severance Date, to the extent that the
Executive elects such continued coverage; provided that the Company’s obligation to make any payment or reimbursement pursuant to this clause (ii) shall cease upon the first to occur of (a) the first anniversary of the Severance Date;
(b) the Executive’s death; (c) the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage under the health plan of a future employer; or (d) the date the Company or its affiliates ceases to offer any group medical coverage to its
active executive employees or the Company is otherwise under no obligation to offer COBRA continuation coverage to the Executive. To the extent that the payment of any COBRA premiums pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) is taxable to the Executive,
such payment shall be made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. The Executive’s right to payment of such premiums is not subject to liquidation or
exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefits that the Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits that the Executive receives in any other taxable year. 

 

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other document, any stock option or other equity-based award granted by the Company to the Executive, to the extent
such award is outstanding and has not vested as of the Executive’s Severance Date, shall automatically become fully vested as of the Severance Date. In the event that the Executive has a Qualifying Termination during the Protected Period
related to a Change in Control, any stock option or other equity-based award granted by the Company to the Executive, to the extent such award had not vested and was cancelled or otherwise terminated upon or prior to the date of the related Change
in Control solely as a result of such Qualifying Termination, shall be reinstated and shall automatically become fully vested, and, in the case of stock options or similar awards, the Executive shall be given a reasonable opportunity to exercise
such accelerated portion of the option or other award before it terminates. 

 3.4. Termination Due to
Disability or Death. Termination of the Executive’s employment due to the Executive’s death or Disability is not a Qualifying Termination, and upon any such termination, the Executive shall be entitled to payment only of the Accrued
Obligations. 
 3.5. Termination for Cause or by the Executive Other Than for Good Reason Termination of the
Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause or by the Executive other than for Good Reason does not constitute a Qualifying Termination. Upon any such termination, the Executive shall be entitled to payment only of the Accrued Obligations.

  
 9 

 3.6. Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Company for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. 

3.7. Release. This Section 3.7 shall apply notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary. As a
condition precedent to any Company obligation to the Executive pursuant to Section 3.3, the Executive (or, in the event of the Executive’s death following a Qualifying Termination, the Executive’s estate) shall, upon or promptly
following (and in all events within forty-five (45) days following) the Executive’s Severance Date (or, if later, the date of the relevant Change in Control of the Company), provide the Company with a valid, executed, written release of
claims (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or such similar form as the Company may reasonably require in the circumstances) (the “Release”), and such Release shall have not been revoked by the Executive (or the
Executive’s estate, as applicable) pursuant to any revocation rights afforded by applicable law. The Company shall provide the final form of release agreement to the Executive not later than seven (7) days following the Severance Date. The
Company shall have no obligation to make any payment or provide any benefit to the Executive pursuant to Section 3.3 unless and until the Release contemplated by this Section 3.7 becomes irrevocable by the Executive (or the
Executive’s estate, as applicable) in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. 
 3.8. Exclusive
Remedy. The Executive agrees that the payments and benefits contemplated by Section 3.3 shall, if the Release contemplated by Section 3.7 is signed and the amounts paid, constitute the exclusive and sole remedy for any termination of
his or her employment and in such case the Executive covenants not to assert or pursue any other remedies, at law or in equity, with respect to any termination of employment. The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that there is no duty
of the Executive to mitigate damages under this Agreement, and there shall be no offset against any amounts due to the Executive under this Agreement on account of any remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that the Executive may
obtain. 
 Article 4. Form and Timing of Severance Benefits; Tax Withholding 

4.1. Form and Timing of Severance Benefits. Subject to Section 3.7, the Severance Benefits described in Section 3.3(a)
shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following (and in all events within sixty (60) days following) the later of (i) the Executive’s Separation from Service or (ii) in the case of a
Separation from Service during the Protected Period, the date of the corresponding Change in Control; provided, however, that such payment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.14(a); and, provided, further, that if the 60-day period
following the Executive’s Separation from Service (or Change in Control, as applicable) spans two calendar years, the payment shall be made to Executive in the second of those two calendar years. 

  
 10 

 4.2. Withholding of Taxes. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the
Company may withhold (or cause there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any amounts otherwise due or payable under or pursuant to this Agreement such federal, state and local income, employment, or other taxes as may be required to be withheld
pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
 Article 5. Section 280G. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Executive
shall be covered by the provisions set forth in Exhibit B hereto, incorporated herein by this reference. 
 Article 6. The
Company’s Payment Obligation 
 6.1. Payment of Obligations Absolute. Except as provided in Sections 3.7, 4.2
and in Article 5, the Company’s obligation to make the payments and the arrangements provided for herein shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any offset,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which the Company may have against the Executive or anyone else. All amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand. Each and every payment made hereunder by the
Company shall be final, and the Company shall not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from the Executive or from whoever may be entitled thereto, for any reasons whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Article 5; provided that the
Executive does not revoke the Release or otherwise take action to render the Release unenforceable. 
 6.2. Contractual Right
to Benefits. This Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits to which he or she is entitled hereunder. The Company expressly waives any ability, if possible, to deny liability for any breach of its
contractual commitment hereunder upon the grounds of lack of consideration, accord and satisfaction or any other defense. In any dispute arising after a Change in Control as to whether the Executive is entitled to benefits under this Agreement,
there shall be a presumption that the Executive is entitled to such benefits and the burden of proving otherwise shall be on the Company. However, nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit,
the Company to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made or required hereunder. 
 6.3. Pension Plans; Duplicate Benefits. All payments, benefits and amounts provided under this Agreement shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any pension rights under the
Company’s tax-qualified pension plans, supplemental retirement plans, nonqualified deferred compensation plans, bonus plans, and any disability, workers’ compensation or other Company benefit plan distribution that the Executive is
entitled to as of his or her Severance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not create an inference that any duplicate payments shall be required. No payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered compensation for
purposes of any such benefit plan. 
 Article 7. Successors and Assignment 

7.1. Successors to the Company. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation, or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or of any division or subsidiary thereof (the business 

  
 11 

 
and/or assets of which constitute at least fifty percent (50%) of the total business and/or assets of the Company) to expressly assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations
under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform them if such succession had not taken place. 
 7.2. Assignment by the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. 
 Article 8. Miscellaneous 

8.1. Employment Status. Except as may be provided under any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the
employment of the Executive by the Company is “at will,” and, prior to the effective date of a Change in Control, may be terminated by either the Executive or the Company at any time, subject to applicable law. 

8.2. Beneficiaries. The Executive may designate one or more persons or entities as the primary and/or contingent Beneficiaries of
any Severance Benefits owing to the Executive under this Agreement. If the Executive dies while any amount would still be payable to him or her hereunder had he or she continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be
paid to the Executive’s Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Executive has not named a Beneficiary, then such amounts shall be paid to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there is no
such designee, to the Executive’s estate. The Executive may make or change such designation at any time, provided that any designation or change thereto must be in the form of a signed writing acceptable to and received by the Committee.

 8.3. Gender and Number. Where the context requires herein, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall
include the singular, and any gender shall include all other genders. 
 8.4. Section Headings. The section headings of,
and titles of paragraphs and subparagraphs contained in, this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only, and they neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation thereof. 

8.5. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect
other provisions or applications of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable. 

8.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any employment agreement and any written agreement evidencing any stock
option or other equity-based incentive award previously granted by the Company, embodies the entire agreement of the parties hereto respecting the matters within its scope. As of the date hereof, this Agreement shall supersede all other agreements
of the parties hereto that are prior to or contemporaneous with such date and that directly or indirectly bear upon the subject matter hereof, other than any prior agreement relating to any right to indemnification the Executive may have from the
Company or the 

  
 12 

 
Executive’s right to be covered under any applicable insurance policy, with respect to any liability the Executive incurred or may incur as an employee, officer or director of the Company or
its affiliates. Any negotiations, correspondence, agreements, proposals or understandings prior to the date of this Agreement relating to the subject matter hereof shall be deemed to have been merged into this Agreement, and to the extent
inconsistent herewith, such negotiations, correspondence, agreements, proposals, or understandings shall be deemed to be of no force or effect. There are no representations, warranties, or agreements, whether express or implied, or oral or written,
with respect to the subject matter hereof, except as expressly set forth herein. This Agreement is an integrated agreement. 

8.7. Modification. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed (in whole or in part), except by a formal, definitive
written agreement expressly referring to this Agreement, which agreement is executed by both of the parties hereto. 
 8.8.
Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy,
power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver. 
 8.9. Arbitration. Any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its enforcement or interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with
any of its provisions, or any other controversy arising out of the Executive’s employment, including, but not limited to, any state or federal statutory claims, shall be submitted to arbitration in Orange County, California, before a sole
arbitrator selected from Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc., Orange, California, or its successor (“JAMS”), or if JAMS is no longer able to supply the arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be selected from the American
Arbitration Association, and shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1280 et seq. as the exclusive forum for the resolution of such dispute; provided, however, that provisional
injunctive relief may, but need not, be sought by either party to this Agreement in a court of law while arbitration proceedings are pending, and any provisional injunctive relief granted by such court shall remain effective until the matter is
finally determined by the Arbitrator. Final resolution of any dispute through arbitration may include any remedy or relief which the Arbitrator deems just and equitable, including any and all remedies provided by applicable state or federal
statutes. At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator shall issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the Arbitrator’s award or decision is based. Any award or relief granted by the
Arbitrator hereunder shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that they are hereby waiving any rights to trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other in connection with any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or the Executive’s employment. The parties agree hereto
that the Company shall be responsible for payment of the forum costs of any arbitration hereunder, including the Arbitrator’s fee. The Executive and the Company further agree that in any proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to its 

  
 13 

 
or his or her reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (other than forum costs associated with the arbitration) incurred by it or him or her in connection with resolution of the dispute in
addition to any other relief granted. Notwithstanding this provision, the parties hereto may mutually agree to mediate any dispute prior to or following submission to arbitration. 

8.10. Notices. 
  

	 	(a)	All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and
made if (i) delivered by hand, (ii) otherwise delivered against receipt therefor, or (iii) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. Any notice shall be duly addressed to the parties hereto as
follows: 

 (i) if to the Company: 

QLogic Corporation 
 26650 Aliso Viejo Parkway 
 Aliso Viejo, California 92656 

Attn: General Counsel 
 with a copy to: 
 O’Melveny & Myers LLP 

610 Newport Center Drive, Suite 1700 
 Newport Beach, California 92660 
 Attn: Gary Singer, Esq. 

(ii) if to the Executive, at the last address of the Executive on the books of the Company. 

 

	 	(b)	Any party may alter the address to which communications or copies are to be sent by giving notice of such change of address in conformity with the provisions of this
Section 8.10 for the giving of notice. Any communication shall be effective when delivered by hand, when otherwise delivered against receipt therefor, or five (5) business days after being mailed in accordance with the foregoing.

 8.11. Legal Counsel; Mutual Drafting. Each party recognizes that this is a legally binding contract and
acknowledges and agrees that they have had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of their choice. Each party has cooperated in the drafting, negotiation and preparation of this Agreement. Hence, in any construction to be made of this
Agreement, the same shall not be construed against either party on the basis of that party being the drafter of such language. The Executive agrees and acknowledges that he or she has read and understands this Agreement completely, is entering into
it freely and voluntarily, and has been advised to seek counsel prior to entering into this Agreement and has had ample opportunity to do so. 
 8.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall 

  
 14 

 
become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties hereto reflected hereon as the signatories. Photographic
copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose. 
 8.13. Governing Law. This
Agreement, and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement, as well as the legal relations hereby created between the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed under, and interpreted and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the State of California, notwithstanding any California or other conflict of law provision to the contrary. 
 8.14. Section 409A. 
  

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment pursuant to Section 3.3 until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after the
Executive’s Separation from Service for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death. Any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive upon or in the six (6) month period following the Executive’s
Separation from Service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 8.14(a) shall be paid (without interest) as soon as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after the
Executive’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30) days, after the date of the Executive’s death). The provisions of this Section 8.14(a) shall only apply if, and to
the extent, required to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. 

  

	 	(b)	It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement shall either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code (including the Treasury
regulations and other published guidance relating thereto) so as not to subject the Executive to payment of any additional tax, penalty or interest imposed under Code Section 409A. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and
interpreted to avoid the imputation of any such additional tax, penalty or interest under Code Section 409A yet preserve (to the nearest extent reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable to the Executive. 

8.15. Clawback Rules and Policy. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement and all
forms of compensation referred to in this Agreement are subject to the Company’s clawback policy, as well as the “clawback” provisions of applicable law, rules and regulations, as each may be adopted and in effect from time to time
(collectively, the “Clawback Policy”). Pursuant to the Clawback Policy, the Company may recoup payments under this Agreement to the extent that any such payments were based on incorrect financial results that require a restatement
of the Company’s financial statements from senior level employees whose fraud or misconduct was a material contributing factor to the financial restatement. The provisions of the Clawback Policy are in addition to (and not in lieu of) any
rights to repayment the Company may have under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other applicable laws.

 EXHIBIT A 
 GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT 
 1. Release. [Name]
(“Executive”), on his or her own behalf and on behalf of his or her descendants, dependents, heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors, and each of them, hereby acknowledges full and complete satisfaction of and
releases and discharges and covenants not to sue QLogic Corporation (the “Company”), its divisions, subsidiaries, parents, or affiliated corporations, past and present, and each of them, as well as its and their assignees,
successors, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, representatives, attorneys, agents or employees, past or present, or any of them (individually and collectively, “Releasees”), from and with respect to any and all claims,
agreements, obligations, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of or in any way connected with Executive’s employment or any other relationship with or interest in the Company or the termination
thereof, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claim for severance pay, profit sharing, bonus or similar benefit, equity-based awards and/or dividend equivalents thereon, pension, retirement, life insurance, health or
medical insurance or any other fringe benefit, or disability, or any other claims, agreements, obligations, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected resulting from any act or omission by or on the part of Releasees
committed or omitted prior to the date of this Agreement, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the California Fair Employment and
Housing Act, or the California Family Rights Act, or any other federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance (collectively, the “Claims”); provided, however, that the foregoing release does not apply to any obligation of the
Company to Executive pursuant to any of the following: (1) Section 3 of the Change in Control Severance Agreement dated as of [            , 2011] by and
between the Company and Executive (the “Change in Control Agreement”), or (2) any equity-based awards previously granted by the Company to Executive (as amended by the Change in Control Agreement). In addition, this release
does not cover any Claim that cannot be so released as a matter of applicable law. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he or she has received any and all leave and other benefits that he or she has been and is entitled to pursuant to the Family
and Medical Leave Act of 1993. 
 2. Acknowledgement of Payment of Wages. Executive acknowledges that he or she has
received all amounts owed for his or her regular and usual salary (including, but not limited to, any bonus or other wages), and usual benefits through the date of this Agreement. 

3. Waiver of Civil Code Section 1542. This Agreement is intended to be effective as a general release of and bar to each and
every Claim hereinabove specified. Accordingly, Executive hereby expressly waives any rights and benefits conferred by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code as to the Claims. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides:

 “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO A CLAIM WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT
THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” 

  
 A-1

 Executive acknowledges that he or she later may discover claims, demands, causes of action or facts in
addition to or different from those which Executive now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this Agreement, may have materially affected its terms.
Nevertheless, Executive hereby waives, as to the Claims, any claims, demands, and causes of action that might arise as a result of such different or additional claims, demands, causes of action or facts. 

4. ADEA Waiver. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that by entering into this Agreement, he or she is waiving any and all
rights or claims that he or she may have arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), which have arisen on or before the date of execution of this Agreement. Executive further expressly
acknowledges and agrees that: 
 (a) In return for this Agreement, he or she will receive consideration beyond that which he or
she was already entitled to receive before entering into this Agreement; 
 (b) He or she is hereby advised in writing by this
Agreement to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement; 
 (c) He or she was given a copy of this Agreement on
[            , 20    ] and informed that he or she had twenty-one (21) days within which to consider the Agreement and that if he or she
wished to execute this Agreement prior to expiration of such 21-day period, he or she should execute the Acknowledgement and Waiver attached hereto as Exhibit A-1; 
 (d) Nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Executive from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition
precedent, penalties or costs from doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law; and 
 (e) He or she was informed
that he or she has seven (7) days following the date of execution of this Agreement in which to revoke this Agreement, and this Agreement will become null and void if Executive elects revocation during that time. Any revocation must be in
writing and must be received by the Company during the seven-day revocation period. In the event that Executive exercises his or her right of revocation, neither the Company nor Executive will have any obligations under this Agreement. 

5. No Transferred Claims. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that he or she has not heretofore assigned or
transferred to any person not a party to this Agreement any released matter or any part or portion thereof. 
 6.
Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement: 
 (a) Number and Gender.
Where the context requires, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and any gender shall include all other genders. 

  
 A-2

 (b) Section Headings. The section headings of, and titles of paragraphs and
subparagraphs contained in, this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only, and they neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation thereof. 

(c) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement, as
well as the legal relations hereby created between the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed under, and interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, notwithstanding any California or other conflict
of law provision to the contrary. 
 (d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is
held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

 (e) Modifications. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed (in whole or in part), except by a formal,
definitive written agreement expressly referring to this Agreement, which agreement is executed by both of the parties hereto. 

(f) Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of
any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the
party asserted to have granted such waiver. 
 (g) Arbitration. Any controversy arising out of or relating to this
Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the arbitration provisions of the Change in Control Agreement. 

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original as
against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the
signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories. Photographic copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose.

 EXHIBIT B 
 SECTION 280G PROVISIONS 
  

	1.1	Limitation on Payments. If upon or following a Change of Control the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any similar or successor tax (the
“Excise Tax”) would apply absent this Section 1.1, because of the Change of Control, to any payments, benefits and/or amounts received by Executive as severance benefits or otherwise, including, without limitation, any amounts
received or deemed received, within the meaning of any provision of the Code, by Executive as a result of (and not by way of limitation) any automatic vesting, lapse of restrictions and/or accelerated target or performance achievement provisions, or
otherwise, applicable to outstanding grants or awards to Executive under any of the Company’s equity incentive plans or agreements (collectively, the “Total Payments”), then Executive’s benefits under this Agreement shall
be either (a) delivered in full, or (b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal,
state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the
Code. The Company shall reduce or eliminate the Total Payments by first reducing or eliminating any cash severance benefits, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of stock options, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated
vesting of other equity-based awards, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Total Payments. 

  

	1.2	Determination. Any determination required under this section shall be made in writing by PwC (or another national public accounting firm mutually
acceptable to the parties) (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this section, the
Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Executive shall
furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any
calculations contemplated by this section.

the manner of determining the equivalent thereof in the currency of the United States of America for any purpose, including for the purposes of making payment in the currency of the United States of America and applying the definition of

principal amount of any Securities of the series which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 8.2 or the method by which such portion shall be determined; 

(14) if the principal amount payable at the Stated Maturity of any Securities of the series will not be determinable as of
any one or more dates prior to the Stated Maturity, the amount which shall be deemed to be the principal amount of such Securities as of any such date for any purpose thereunder or hereunder, including the principal amount thereof which shall be due
and payable upon any Maturity other than the Stated Maturity or which shall be deemed to be Outstanding as of any date prior to the Stated Maturity (or, in any such case, the manner in which such amount deemed to be the principal amount shall be
determined);

any addition to, elimination of or other change in the circumstances set forth in clause (2) of the last paragraph of Section 3.7 in which any such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and any

Global Security;

of the series; 
 (19) any provisions necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance, payment or conversion of
any Securities of the series that may be converted into securities or other property other than Securities of the same series and of like tenor, whether in addition to, or in lieu of, any payment of principal or other amount and whether at the
option of the Company or otherwise; 

  
 12 

 (20) the terms and conditions, if any, pursuant to which the Securities of
the series are secured; 
 (21) any restriction or condition on the transferability of the Securities of such
series;

(23) any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as
permitted by Section 11.1(4)). 
 All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to
denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 3.3) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers’ Certificate referred to above or
in any such Supplemental Indenture hereto. If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. 
  

	SECTION 3.2.	DENOMINATIONS 

 The Securities of
each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any
series, the Securities of that series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof. 
  

	SECTION 3.3.	EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING 

 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by two Officers by manual or facsimile signature. 
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together
with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of the Company Order, authenticate and deliver such Securities as this Indenture provides and not otherwise. 

If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted
by Sections 2.2 and 3.1, 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 Section 9.1) shall be fully
protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 
 (1) if the form of such Securities has been
established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.2, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

  
 13 

 (2) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to
Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.1, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (3) that 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, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
 If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall
not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Board Resolution or the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order
and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of that series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first
Security of that series to be issued. 
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the
Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.12, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

  

	SECTION 3.4.	TEMPORARY SECURITIES 

 Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such
Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 

  
 14 

 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive
Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of that series, the temporary Securities of that series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of that series upon surrender
of the temporary Securities of that series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of that series and tenor. 
  

	SECTION 3.5.	HOLDER LISTS 

 The Trustee shall
preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders of Securities of each series, by series, and shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). If the Trustee is
not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or shall cause the Registrar (if other than the Company) to furnish, to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date with respect to a series of Securities and at such other
times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of such series, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a).

  

	SECTION 3.6.	REGISTRAR, PAYING AGENT AND DEPOSITARY 

 The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be
presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register (the “Security Register”) of each series of Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar with
respect to the Securities of any series without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain an entity other
than the Trustee as either Registrar or Paying Agent for the affected series of Securities, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Company initially appoints The Depository
Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Securities. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Securities Custodian with respect to the Global Securities. 

  
 15 

	SECTION 3.7.	REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE 

 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency of the Company. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All
Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such
registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 3.7 or 11.5 not
involving any transfer. 
 If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part,
the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 4.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security
so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 The
provisions of clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities: 
 (1) Each
Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such
Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 (2) Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Indenture, and subject to such applicable provisions, if any, as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, a 

  
 16 

 
Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the
Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Securities will be exchanged by the Company for other certificated Securities if (i) the Company delivers to
the Trustee written notice from the Depositary that (x) the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Securities and the Company thereupon fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days or
(y) the Depositary is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the Global Securities (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for other certificated
Global Securities and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee or (iii) upon request of the Trustee or Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the applicable series if there shall have
occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities. If the Company designates a successor Depositary as aforesaid, such Global Security shall promptly be exchanged in whole for one or more other Global
Securities registered in the name of the successor Depositary, whereupon such designated successor shall be the Depositary for such successor Global Security or Global Securities and the provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) of this
Section shall continue to apply thereto. 
 (3) Subject to Clause (2) above and to such applicable
provisions, if any, as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof
shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 
 (4) Every Security
authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.4, 3.6 or 11.5 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and
delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 

 

	SECTION 3.8.	MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES 

 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them harmless, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of written notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired
by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding. 

  
 17 

 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the
issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

 

	SECTION 3.9.	PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED 

 Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any Securities of a series, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest (whether or not such day is a Business Day).

 Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at
its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make
payment of any Defaulted Interest payable on any Securities of a series to the Persons in whose names 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 of such Securities 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 provided in this clause (1). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of
such 

  
 18 

 
Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the
notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of such Securities in the manner set forth in Section 12.4, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and
shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). 
 (2) The Company may make payment of any
Defaulted Interest on any Securities of a series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such Securities may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as may
be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after written 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. 

Except as may otherwise be provided in this Section 3.9 or as contemplated in Section 3.1 with respect to any Securities of a
series, the Person to whom interest shall be payable on any Security that first becomes payable on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date shall be the Holder of such Security on the day such interest is paid. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
 In the case of any Security which is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security whose Maturity is prior to such Interest
Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion, and such interest (whether or not punctually paid or duly provided for) shall be paid to
the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any
Security which is converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of such Security shall not be payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of any Security that may be converted may provide that the provisions of this
paragraph do not apply, or apply with such additions, changes or omissions as may be provided thereby, to such Security. 

  
 19 

	SECTION 3.10.	PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST 

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

 

	SECTION 3.11.	PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS 

 Prior to
due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.9) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of
the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  

	SECTION 3.12.	CANCELLATION 

 All Securities
surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly
cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the
Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a
Company Order; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy such cancelled Securities. 
  

	SECTION 3.13.	COMPUTATION OF INTEREST; USURY 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 The amount of interest (or amounts deemed to be
interest under applicable law) payable or paid on any Security shall be limited to an amount which shall not exceed the maximum 

  
 20 

 
nonusurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable laws of the State of New York, or any applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum nonusurious rate that preempts such
applicable New York law, which could lawfully be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received (the “Maximum Interest Rate”). If, as a result of any circumstances whatsoever, the Company or any other Person is deemed to have paid
interest (or amounts deemed to be interest under applicable law) or any Holder of a Security is deemed to have contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received interest (or amounts deemed to be interest under applicable law), in excess of the
Maximum Interest Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of validity, and if under any such circumstance, the Trustee, acting on behalf of the Holders, or any Holder shall ever receive interest or
anything that might be deemed interest under applicable law that would exceed the Maximum Interest Rate, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the applicable Security or
Securities and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of any such Security or Securities, such excess shall be refunded to the Company; provided that the Company and not the Trustee shall
be responsible for collecting any such refund from the Holders. In addition, for purposes of determining whether payments in respect of any Security are usurious, all sums paid or agreed to be paid with respect to such Security for the use,
forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Security. 

 

	SECTION 3.14.	CUSIP NUMBERS 

 The Company in
issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as
to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of 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 in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 REDEMPTION 

 

	SECTION 4.1.	APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE 

Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article. 
  

	SECTION 4.2.	ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE 

 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities. In
case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the 

  
 21 

 
Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter
notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of that series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In
the case of any redemption of Securities (i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Company that is
subject to a condition specified in the terms of those Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition and if requested by the Trustee under
Section 9.2(b) hereof, an Opinion of Counsel. 
  

	SECTION 4.3.	SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED 

 If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of that series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single
Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of that series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of that series; provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be
in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of that series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a
single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of that series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption
in accordance with the preceding sentence. 
 If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before
termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted
during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and each Registrar in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as
aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with
respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an
authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 
 For all
purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of
such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 

  
 22 

	SECTION 4.4.	NOTICE OF REDEMPTION 

 Notice of
redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s current address appearing in the
Security Register. 
 All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any)
and shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date, 

(2) the Redemption Price, 
 (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such
Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be
redeemed, 
 (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such
Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, 

(5) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, 

(6) for any Securities that by their terms may be converted, the terms of conversion, the date on which the right to
convert the Security to be redeemed will terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion, and 
 (7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is 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 written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable. The failure to
give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 

 

	SECTION 4.5.	DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE 

 On
or before 12:00 Noon, New York City time on 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 3.10) an
amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date, other than any Securities called for
redemption on that date which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit. 

  
 23 

 If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or
with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such Security or any Predecessor Security to receive interest as provided in the last paragraph of
Section 3.9 or in the terms of such Security) be paid to the Company upon Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. 
  

	SECTION 4.6.	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 accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security
shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, installments of interest whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 3.7. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 
  

	SECTION 4.7.	SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART 

 Any
Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (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 (other than payment by the
Company of charges previously agreed to by the Company and the Trustee in writing), a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to
and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

 ARTICLE V 
 SINKING FUNDS 
  

	SECTION 5.1.	APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE 

 The
provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities. 

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities is herein referred to as a “mandatory
sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash
amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 5.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 

 

	SECTION 5.2.	SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES 

 The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been converted in
accordance with their terms or which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of that series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities;
provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be
redeemed (or at such other prices as may be specified for such Securities as contemplated in Section 3.1), for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

  

	SECTION 5.3.	REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND 

 Not less than 90 days (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof,
if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 5.2 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 4.3 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner
provided in Section 4.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 4.6 and 4.7.

 ARTICLE VI 
 COVENANTS 
  

	SECTION 6.1.	PAYMENT OF SECURITIES 

 The
Company shall pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of any series on the dates and in the manner provided herein and in the applicable Security. An installment of principal of or interest on any Security of any series
shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds for the benefit of the Holders of such Security (on or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time to the extent
necessary to provide the funds to the Depositary in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) on that date cash deposited and designated for and sufficient to pay the installment. 

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue installments of interest at the rate specified in the Security of that
series compounded semi-annually, to the extent lawful. 
  

	SECTION 6.2.	MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY 

The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities, an office or agency (which may be an office of the
Trustee, of the Registrar or of an agent of the Trustee or the Registrar) where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such
office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from
time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any
series for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

With respect to any Global Security, and except as otherwise may be specified for such Global Security as contemplated by
Section 3.1, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall be the Place of Payment where such Global Security may be presented or surrendered for 

  
 26 

 
payment or for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Securities may be delivered in exchange therefor; provided, however, that any such payment, presentation,
surrender or delivery effected pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary for such Global Security shall be deemed to have been effected at the Place of Payment for such Global Security in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture. 
  

	SECTION 6.3.	CORPORATE EXISTENCE 

 Except as
otherwise permitted by Article VII, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and its material rights (charter and statutory); provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company. 

 

	SECTION 6.4.	COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE; NOTICE OF DEFAULT 

 (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers’ Certificate, one of the signers of which shall be the principal executive
officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company, complying with TIA § 314(a)(4) and stating that a review of its activities during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the
signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture (without regard to notice requirements or grace periods) and further stating, as to each such Officer
signing such certificate, whether or not the signer knows of any failure by the Company to comply with any conditions or covenants in this Indenture and, if such signer does know of such a failure to comply, the certificate shall describe such
failure with particularity. The Officers’ Certificate shall also notify the Trustee in writing should the relevant fiscal year end on any date other than the current fiscal year end date. The Officer’s Certificate to be provided under this
Section 6.4 need not comply with Section 12.6 hereof. 
 (b) The Company shall, so long as any Security of any series
is Outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default with respect to such series, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, any Event of Default or any such fact unless one of its Trust Officers receives written notice thereof from the Company or any of the Holders.

  

	SECTION 6.5.	REPORTS 

 So long as any of the
Securities remain Outstanding, the Company shall file with the SEC or, if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, post on the Company’s website, in either case within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, including the additional periods provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act, annual reports and other reports or statements prepared in accordance with the reporting provisions under
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company shall also comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(a).

 ARTICLE VII 
 SUCCESSOR CORPORATION 
  

	SECTION 7.1.	LIMITATION ON MERGER, SALE OR CONSOLIDATION 

 The Company shall not consolidate or merge with or into, or transfer or lease its assets substantially as an entirety, whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, to another
Person, unless: 
 (1) either (a) the Company is the surviving entity or (b) the resulting, surviving
or transferee entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or which acquires or leases the Company’s assets is a corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of
the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by a Supplemental Indenture (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) all of the Company’s obligations in connection with the Securities
and this Indenture; 
 (2) no Default or Event of Default will exist immediately after giving effect to such
transaction (applying Article 11 of Regulation S-X to such transaction as and to the extent applicable); and 

(3) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel meeting the requirements
of Sections 12.6 and 12.7 hereof. 
 For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise) of
the assets, substantially as an entirety, of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, the Company’s interest in which constitutes the Company’s assets substantially as an entirety, shall be deemed to be the transfer of the Company’s
assets substantially as an entirety. 
  

	SECTION 7.2.	SUCCESSOR CORPORATION SUBSTITUTED 

Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer or lease of the assets of the Company substantially as an entirety in accordance with
Section 7.1, the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer or lease is made shall succeed to and (except in the case of a lease) be substituted for, and may exercise every right
and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named herein as the Company, and (except in the case of a lease) when a surviving entity duly assumes all of the obligations of the Company
pursuant hereto and pursuant to the Securities, the Company shall be released from such obligations (except with respect to any obligations that arise from, or are related to, such transaction).

 ARTICLE VIII 
 EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 
  

	SECTION 8.1.	EVENTS OF DEFAULT 

 “Event
of Default” with respect to Securities of any series, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be caused voluntarily or involuntarily or effected, without
limitation, 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): 

(i) the Company’s failure to pay any installment of interest on any Security of that series as and when the same
becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for 30 days; or 
 (ii) the Company’s
failure to pay all or any part of the principal of, or premium, if any, on any Security of that series when and as the same becomes due and payable at maturity, redemption, by acceleration or otherwise; or 

(iii) the Company’s failure to deposit any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that
series, and continuance of any such failure for 30 days; or 
 (iv) with respect to the Securities of that
series, the Company’s failure to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement in respect of any Security of that series contained in this Indenture or in such Security (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance is
elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or that has been expressly included in this Indenture by means of a Supplemental Indenture solely for the benefit of Securities of a series other than that series) or in the applicable Board
Resolution under which that series is issued as contemplated by Section 3.01 and, the continuance of such failure for a period of 60 days after written notice of such failure, specifying such failure and requiring the same to be remedied, has
been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; or 

(v) a decree, judgment, or order by a court of competent jurisdiction shall have been entered adjudicating the Company as
bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of the Company under any bankruptcy or similar law, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or a decree,
judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction appointing a receiver, liquidator, trustee, or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency for the Company, or any substantial part of the property of the Company, or for the winding up or liquidation
of the affairs of the Company, shall have been entered, and such decree, judgment, or order shall have remained in force undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or 

  
 29 

 (vi) the Company shall institute proceedings to be adjudicated a voluntary
bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization under any bankruptcy or similar law or similar statute, or shall consent to the filing of any such
petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, trustee, or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or any substantial part of its assets or property, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or take any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or 

(vii) any other event or occurrence that is designated to be an Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of
that series in the Supplemental Indenture or Board Resolution that establishes the terms of the Securities of that series. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1, if the principal or any premium or interest on any Security is payable
in a currency other than the currency of the United States of America and such currency is not available to the Company for making payment thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company,
the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the Securities by making such payment in the currency of the United States of America in an amount equal to the currency of the United States of America equivalent of the amount
payable in such other currency, as determined by the Trustee by reference to the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such currency (the “Exchange Rate”), as such Exchange Rate is reported or otherwise made
available by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the date of such payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1, any
payment made under such circumstances in the currency of the United States of America where the required payment is in a currency other than the currency of the United States of America will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture.

  

	SECTION 8.2.	ACCELERATION OF MATURITY DATE; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT 

 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(v) or Section 8.1(vi)),
then in every such case, unless the principal of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
that series, by notice in writing to the Company specifying the respective Event of Default (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) (an “Acceleration Notice”), may declare all principal, determined as set forth below, and accrued
interest on such series (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in, or determined in accordance with, the terms of that series) to be due and payable
immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(v) or Section 8.1(vi) occurs, all principal and accrued interest on such series (or, in the case of any Security of that series which specifies an amount to be due and payable
thereon upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof, such amount as may be specified by the terms thereof) will be immediately due and payable on all Outstanding Securities of that series without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any Holders. 

  
 30 

 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series, by written notice to the Trustee, may rescind and annul any acceleration and its consequences with respect to the Securities of that series so long as (a) such rescission occurs before a judgment or decree is entered based on such
acceleration and (b) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all Securities of that series that have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been
cured or waived as provided in Section 8.12. 
  

	SECTION 8.3.	COLLECTION OF DEBT AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE 

 The Company covenants that if an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8.1 hereof occurs and is continuing with respect to
Securities of any series, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of that series, the whole amount then due and payable on Securities of that series for principal, premium (if any), and
interest, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any), and on any overdue interest, at the rate borne by such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to, and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 9.7. 
 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 in favor of the Holders of Securities of that series, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the
same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities,
wherever situated. 
 If an Event of Default 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 that series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective 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 8.4.	TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of any series or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of such
Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise 

  
 31 

 
and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal
(and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of such Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agent and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.7) and of the Holders of Securities of that series allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

 (2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of a series to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.7 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 of Securities of any series any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting Securities of that series or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any such Holder in any such proceeding. 

 

	SECTION 8.5.	TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES 

 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust in favor of the Holders of such Securities, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the
payment of compensation to, and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.7, be for the ratable benefit of such Holders of such Securities in respect of
which such judgment has been recovered. 
  

	SECTION 8.6.	PRIORITIES 

 Any money collected
by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII 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, upon presentation
of the Securities of any series and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the Trustee in payment of all amounts due pursuant to Section 9.7 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and
the costs and expenses of collection, as provided in such Section; 

  
 32 

 SECOND: To the Holders of such Securities in payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for
principal of, premium (if any), and interest on, such Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such
Securities for principal, premium (if any), and interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD: To the Company or such other Person as may
be lawfully entitled thereto, the remainder, if any, each as their respective interests may appear. 
 The Trustee may, but
shall not be obligated to, fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders under this Section 8.6. 
  

	SECTION 8.7.	LIMITATION ON SUITS 

 No Holder
of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute, or to order or direct the Trustee 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 with respect to such Security, unless: 
 (A) such Holder has previously given written notice to
the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; 
 (B) the Holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

 (C) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred or reasonably probable 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 aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 
 it being understood and intended that no
one or more Holders of Securities of that series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever 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 that
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 ratable benefit of all the Holders of Securities of
that series.

	SECTION 8.8.	UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, and premium (if any),
and (subject to Section 3.9) interest on, such Security on the Maturity Dates of such payments as expressed in such Security (in the case of redemption, the Redemption Price on the applicable Redemption Date), and, if the terms of such Security
so provide, to convert such Security in accordance with its terms, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment after such respective dates, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

 

	SECTION 8.9.	RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in
Section 3.8 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative
and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  

	SECTION 8.10.	DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER 

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

	SECTION 8.11.	CONTROL BY HOLDERS 

 The Holder
or Holders of a majority in aggregate 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 upon the Trustee with respect to the Securities of that series; provided that 
 (1) such
direction shall not be in conflict with any applicable rule of law or with this Indenture; 
 (2) the Trustee
shall not determine that the action so directed would be unduly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction; and 
 (3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 

  
 34 

	SECTION 8.12.	WAIVER OF EXISTING OR PAST DEFAULT 

 The Holder or Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may, on behalf of all Holders of all the Securities of that series, waive any
existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series and its consequences under this Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series: 

(A) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security of that series as specified in
clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 8.1 hereof and not yet cured; or 
 (B) with respect to any
covenant or provision hereof which, under Article XI, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of that series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any other Default or 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 with respect to the Securities of that series or impair the exercise of any right arising therefrom. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents (or other evidence of such consents as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee). 

This Section 8.12 shall be in lieu of TIA §§ 316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) and such sections of the TIA are
hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. 
  

	SECTION 8.13.	UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS 

 All
parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security of any series by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture with respect to the Security of
that series, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it as Trustee with respect to that series, any court may in its discretion require 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 and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 8.13 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of the Security of that series, or group of Holders
of the Security of that series, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Security of that series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of that series for enforcement of the payment of principal of,
or premium (if any), or interest on, any Security of that series on or after the respective Maturity Date expressed in such Security (including, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 

  
 35 

	SECTION 8.14.	RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 

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

 

	SECTION 8.15.	WAIVER OF STAY, EXTENSION OR USURY LAWS 

 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or
extension law or any usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium of, or interest on any Security as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it shall not
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 

ARTICLE IX 

TRUSTEE 

The Trustee hereby accepts the trust imposed upon it by this Indenture and covenants and agrees to perform the same, as herein expressed,
subject to the terms hereof. 
  

	SECTION 9.1.	DUTIES OF TRUSTEE 

 (a) If an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and has not been cured or waived in accordance with the terms of this Indenture) with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture with respect to such Securities and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series: 

(1) the Trustee need perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others; no covenants
or obligations shall be implied in or read into this Indenture which are adverse to the Trustee; and any rights of the Trustee to take any action that is permitted, but not required, to be taken by this Indenture shall not be construed as an
obligation or duty to do so; and 
 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, in the case of any
such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 

  
 36 

 (c) The Trustee shall not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph does not limit the
effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 9.1; 
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 8.11 hereof. 

(d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or to take or omit to take any action under this Indenture or at the request, order or direction of the Holders or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. 

(e) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (f) and
(g) of this Section 9.1. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any assets received by it except as
the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company (including without limitation to the extent the Trustee receives funds prior to the interest payment date in order to comply with the provisions of Section 6.1). Assets held in trust by the
Trustee need not be segregated from other assets except to the extent required by law. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be required
to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture. 

(h) 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 and to the provisions of the TIA. 

  
 37 

	SECTION 9.2.	RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE 

 Subject to
Section 9.1 hereof, with respect to Securities of any series: 
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in such document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may consult with counsel and may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to Sections 12.6 and 12.7
hereof, except as specifically provided herein. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or advice of counsel. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent
appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it or its agent takes or omits to take in good
faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (e)
The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the
Trustee, in its sole discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit. 

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order
or direction of any of the Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby. 
 (g) Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction
or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company, as applicable. 
 (h) The Trustee shall
have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company’s covenants in Article VI hereof or as to the performance by any Agent of its duties hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event
of Default except any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have received written notification or obtained actual knowledge of an event which is in fact such a default (and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture),
and in the absence of any such notice or any such actual knowledge, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no Default or Event of Default exists. 
 (i) 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, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel, or both. 

  
 38 

 (j) The Trustee may request that the Issuer or 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. 
 (k) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee
in each of its capacities under this Indenture, and to each Agent, Custodian and other person employed by the Trustee in furtherance of carrying out its duties under this Indenture. 

 

	SECTION 9.3.	INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE 

The Trustee, or any of its Affiliates, in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities of any series
and may otherwise deal with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent or Custodian may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply
with Sections 9.10 and 9.11 hereof. 
  

	SECTION 9.4.	TRUSTEE’S DISCLAIMER 

 The
Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities of any series, and it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it
shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in the Indenture or any statement in the Securities of any series (other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) or in any prospectus or other disclosure materials distributed
with respect to the Securities of any series (other than information provided by the Trustee concerning the Trustee), or for the use or application of any funds received by a Paying Agent other than the Trustee. 

 

	SECTION 9.5.	NOTICE OF DEFAULT 

 If a Default
or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to Securities of any series and if it is known to the Trustee as provided in Section 9.2(h) hereof, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of that series notice of the uncured Default
or Event of Default within 90 days after such Default or Event of Default occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of any
Security, if any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. 

 

	SECTION 9.6.	REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS 

Within 60 days after each March 15 beginning with the March 15 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall, if
required by law, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such March 15 that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §§ 313(b) and 313(c). 

  
 39 

 The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing if the Securities of any series
become listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system or of any delisting thereof. 
 A copy of each report at
the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which any Securities are listed. 
  

	SECTION 9.7.	COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY 

 The
Company agrees to pay to the Trustee (in its capacity as such) from time to time such reasonable compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. In addition to such compensation for services, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Trustee (and any predecessor Trustee with respect to all matters and events existing or
alleged to exist on or prior to the date such person ceased to be a Trustee) upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses (including costs of collection) and advances actually incurred or made by it in accordance with this Indenture or
carrying out its duties hereunder. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, accountants, experts and counsel. 

The Company agrees to indemnify each of the Trustee (in any capacity under this Indenture including as Trustee, Agent or Securities
Custodian) and each predecessor Trustee and each of its officers, directors, attorneys-in-fact and agents for, and hold it harmless against, any claim, demand, expense (including but not limited to reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses
of the Trustee’s agents and counsel), loss or liability incurred by it without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance and the administration of this trust and
its rights or duties hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any investigation, claim or liability (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other person) in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to so
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the defense. The Trustee may have
separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the Company will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if they assume the Trustee’s defense and if the Trustee is advised
by its counsel that there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without their written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(v) or (vi) of this
Indenture occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

  
 40 

 The Company’s obligations under this Section 9.7 shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Trustee, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article X of this Indenture and any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law. 

 

	SECTION 9.8.	REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE 

 The
Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to that series by so notifying the Company
and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor trustee with the Company’s consent. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.10 hereof; 
 (b) the Trustee
is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
 (c) a receiver, Custodian or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or 
 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason with respect to Securities of any
series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holder or Holders of a majority in principal amount of that series of Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace
the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to
the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that and, provided that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee provided for in Section 9.7 hereof have been paid, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as trustee
to the successor Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of
its succession to each Holder of the affected series at the current address of each such Holder as set forth in the Security Register. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed with respect to Securities of any series, the retiring Trustee (at the Company’s cost and
expense), the Company or the Holder or Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.10 hereof, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal
of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 9.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 9.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

  
 41 

	SECTION 9.9.	SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC. 

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business or assets
to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee.

  

	SECTION 9.10.	ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION 

The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall have a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b). 

 

	SECTION 9.11.	PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. 

 The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to
the extent indicated. 
 ARTICLE X 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
  

	SECTION 10.1.	OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

 The Company, at the Company’s option and at any time, may elect to have Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 of this Indenture applied to all Outstanding Securities of any series upon compliance
with the conditions set forth below in this Article X. 
  

	SECTION 10.2.	LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 10.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 10.2 with respect to the
Outstanding Securities of any series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all Outstanding Securities as to which this option provided in Section 10.1 is exercised, on the date the conditions
set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding
Securities, and this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all such Outstanding Securities, except as to be deemed to be Outstanding only for the purposes of the Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below,
and the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied all other of its obligations under such Outstanding Securities and this Indenture with respect to such Securities (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Securities to receive payments in respect of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities when such payments are due from the trust described in Section 10.5, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under

  
 42 

 
Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 6.2, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 hereof, and (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Company’s
obligations in connection therewith. If the Company exercises its option under this Section 10.2 with respect to the Outstanding Securities of any series, then payment of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event
of Default. Subject to compliance with this Article X, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 10.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 10.3 hereof with respect to such Securities. 

 

	SECTION 10.3.	COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

 Upon the
Company’s exercise under Section 10.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 10.3 with respect to the Outstanding Securities of any series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenants provided
pursuant to Section 3.1(18) and the covenants contained in Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 and Article VII hereof with respect to all Outstanding Securities as to which this option provided in Section 10.1 is exercised, on and after the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and such Outstanding Securities shall thereafter be deemed not Outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of
Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed Outstanding for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding
Securities of any series as to which the Covenant Defeasance has occurred, the Company shall not need to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant with respect to such
Securities, 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 a Default or an Event of Default under Section 8.1(iv) with respect to such Securities, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 

 

	SECTION 10.4.	CONDITIONS TO LEGAL OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

 (a) The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 10.2 or 10.3 hereof to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, to be defeased: 

(i) the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities as to which Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will occur, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations, a combination thereof, or other obligations as may be provided as contemplated by Section 3.1(15) with respect to such Securities, in such amounts as
will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities on the stated date for payment thereof
or on the redemption date of such principal or installment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Securities, and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, has a valid and perfected security interest in
obligations so deposited; 

  
 43 

 (ii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service, a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture,
there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States
reasonably acceptable to such Trustee confirming that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the
same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(iv) no Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit
(other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and no Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(v) or Section 8.1(vi) occurs, at any time in the period ending on the 91st
day after the date of deposit; 
 (v) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (excluding this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 

(vi) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company
with the intent of preferring the Holders of such Securities over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others; 

(vii) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall 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 such trust shall be qualified under such Act or exempt from regulation thereunder; and 
 (viii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions precedent provided for in, in the case of the
Officers’ Certificate, (i) through (vi) and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, clauses (i) (with respect to the validity and perfection of the security interest), (ii), (iii) and (v) of this paragraph have been
complied with. 
 (b) If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to be so defeased when due, then the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to such Securities will be revived and no such defeasance will be deemed to have
occurred. 

  
 44 

	SECTION 10.5.	DEPOSITED CASH AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

Subject to Section 10.6 hereof, all cash and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee
(or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 10.5, the “Paying Agent”) pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof in respect of any Securities to be defeased shall be held in trust and applied by the Paying
Agent, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any other Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 10.4 or the principal
and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Securities. 
  

	SECTION 10.6.	REPAYMENT TO THE COMPANY 

 (a)
Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any cash or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in
Section 10.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion
delivered under Section 10.4(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

(b) Any cash and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then
held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid
to the Company on its written request; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal
(national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be
repaid to the Company. 

  
 45 

	SECTION 10.7.	REINSTATEMENT 

 If the Trustee or
Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 10.2 or 10.3 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to such Securities affected and such Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 10.2 or 10.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply such money in accordance with Sections 10.2 and 10.3 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any such Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the cash or U.S.
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE XI 

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 
  

	SECTION 11.1.	SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS 

 Without the consent of any Holder of any Securities, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more Supplemental
Indentures hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes: 
 (1) to cure any
ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any Supplemental Indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any Supplemental Indenture or to make any changes hereto or
to any Supplemental Indenture that are required by law; 
 (2) to add to the covenants of the Company such
further covenants, restrictions or conditions for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of all or any series (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being
included solely for the benefit of that series or those series specified in such Supplemental Indenture), and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a Default in any such additional covenants, restrictions or conditions a
Default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth (and if such additional Events of Default are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities,
stating that such additional Events of Default are expressly being included solely for the benefit of that series or those series specified in such Supplemental Indenture); provided, however, that in respect of any such additional
covenant, restriction or condition such Supplemental Indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after Default (which period may be shorter or longer than allowed in the case of other Defaults) or may provide for any immediate enforcement
upon such Default or may limit the remedies available to be exercised by the Trustee in its discretion upon such Default but may not limit the remedies available to be exercised by the Holders; 

  
 46 

 (3) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to such
extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in uncertificated form; 
 (4) to
add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities; provided that any such addition, change or elimination (A) shall neither (i) apply to any Security of any series
created prior to the execution of such Supplemental Indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (B) shall become effective only
when there is no such Security Outstanding; 
 (5) to provide for collateral for or guarantors of the Securities
of any series; 
 (6) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company, and the assumption by any such
successor of the obligations of the Company, herein and in the Securities in accordance with Article VII; 
 (7)
to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to comply with the TIA; 
 (8) to evidence and
provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to 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, pursuant to the requirements of Section 9.8; 
 (9) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Section 2.1 and 3.1; 
 (10) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture with respect to any Securities that by their terms may be converted into securities or other property other than Securities of the same
series and of like tenor, in order to permit or facilitate the issuance, payment or conversion of such Securities; 
 (11) to comply with the rules or regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the Securities may be listed or traded; or 

(12) to provide for the payment by the Company of additional amounts in respect of taxes imposed on certain Holders and
for the treatment of such additional amounts as interest and for all matters incidental thereto. 
 Upon the written request of the Company
accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such Supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of any Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel requested under Section 9.2(b) hereof, the Trustee shall
join with the Company in the execution of any Supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the 

  
 47 

 
terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to (but may in its discretion) enter
into such Supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  

	SECTION 11.2.	AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES AND WAIVERS WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS 

 Subject to Section 8.8 hereof, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby (including
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for such Securities), by written act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee for Securities of
each such series may amend or supplement this Indenture or enter into one or more Supplemental Indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of that series under this Indenture or the applicable Securities. Subject to Section 8.8, the Holder or Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of each series may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or such Securities with respect to such series. Notwithstanding any of the above, however, no such amendment, Supplemental Indenture or waiver shall,
without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby: 
 (1) extend the Stated
Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the
principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or any other Security which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 8.2, or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or
currency in which, any such Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after
the Redemption Date); or 
 (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such amendment, Supplemental Indenture or waiver provided for in this Indenture; 
 (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 8.12, except to increase any required percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived
without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee”
and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 9.8 and 11.1(8); 

  
 48 

 (4) cause such Security to become subordinate in right of payment to any
other Debt, except to the extent provided in the terms of such Security; or 
 (5) if any Security provides that
the Holder may require the Company to repurchase or convert such Security, impair such Holder’s right to require repurchase or conversion of such Security on the terms provided therein. 
 A Supplemental Indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of
Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of that series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

 Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amendment or
supplement to this Indenture or of any such Supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of any Officers’
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel requested under Section 9.2(b) hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amendment or supplement to this Indenture or of such Supplemental Indenture, but the Trustee shall not be
obligated to (but may in its discretion) enter into any such amendment or supplement to this Indenture or any such Supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 11.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such Supplemental Indenture or waiver. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 11.2 or under Section 11.4 hereof becomes effective, it shall bind
each Holder. 
 In connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Article XI, the Company may, but shall not be
obligated to, offer to any Holder who consents to such amendment, supplement or waiver, or to all Holders, consideration for such Holder’s consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

 

	SECTION 11.3.	COMPLIANCE WITH TIA 

 Every
amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 

  
 49 

	SECTION 11.4.	REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS 

Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective with respect to any Security of any series, a consent to it by a Holder of that
series is a continuing consent by such Holder and every subsequent Holder of such Security or portion of such Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such
Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to such Security or portion of such Security by written notice to the Company or the Person designated by the Company as the Person to whom consents should be sent if
such revocation is received by the Company or such Person before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Securities affected have consented
(and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 The Company may, but shall not be
obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be the date so fixed by the Company notwithstanding the provisions of the TIA. If a record
date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date, and only those Persons (or their duly designated proxies), shall be entitled to revoke any consent
previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. 
 After an amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of the Security of the affected series, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (5) of Section 11.2 hereof, in which case, the amendment, supplement or
waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Security of that series who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of such Security or portion of such Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security; provided
that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder of that series to receive payment of principal and premium of and interest on such Security, on or after the respective dates set for such amounts to become due and payable
expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates. 
  

	SECTION 11.5.	NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES 

 Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved
by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such Supplemental Indenture. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security of any series, the Trustee may require such Holder of the Security of that series to deliver it to the
Trustee or require such Holder to put an appropriate notation on such Security. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on such Security about the changed terms and return it to such Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so
determines, the Company in exchange for the affected Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security of the same series that reflects the changed terms. Any failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security
shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

  
 50 

	SECTION 11.6.	TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC. 

The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article XI; provided that the Trustee
may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, liabilities, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article XI is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

ARTICLE XII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	SECTION 12.1.	TIA CONTROLS 

 If any provision
of this Indenture limits, qualifies, or conflicts with the duties imposed by operation of the TIA, the imposed duties, upon qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any
provision of the TIA which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 

 

	SECTION 12.2.	FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE 

 In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion
of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may
certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the
Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of, or representation by, counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are 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, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 

  
 51 

	SECTION 12.3.	ACTS OF HOLDERS; RECORD DATES 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
given, made 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 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, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. 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 9.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer
authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. 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. 
 The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future
Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
 The Company may set any day as a record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to
be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of that series; provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration,
request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the
relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of that series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the
requisite 

  
 52 

 
principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own
expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in
Section 12.4. 
 The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any notice of default pursuant to Section 9.5, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 8.2, (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 8.7(B) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 8.11, in each case with respect to Securities of that series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of that series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action
shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of that series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled
and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after
any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to
each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 12.4. 
 With respect to any record
date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that
no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 12.4, on or prior to
the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such
record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable
record date. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any
particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal
amount. 

  
 53

 54 

 Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect
its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it. 

 

	SECTION 12.5.	COMMUNICATIONS BY HOLDERS WITH OTHER HOLDERS 

 Holders of any Security may communicate pursuant to TIA § 312(b) with other Holders of that series with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the applicable Securities. The Company,

such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with; provided, however, that, with respect to matters of fact, an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officers’ Certificate or certificates of public officials. 

  
 55 

	SECTION 12.8.	RULES BY TRUSTEE, PAYING AGENT, REGISTRAR 

 The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The Paying Agent or Registrar may make reasonable rules for its functions. 

 

	SECTION 12.9.	LEGAL HOLIDAYS 

 Unless otherwise
provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to Securities of any series, in any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Maturity of any Security, Stated Maturity or any date on which a Holder has the right to convert his
Security, shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu
of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any), or conversion of such Security need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the
same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Maturity or the Stated Maturity, or on such date for conversion, as the case may be and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. 

 

	SECTION 12.10.	GOVERNING LAW

 No
direct or indirect stockholder, employee, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company, or any successor entity, shall have any personal liability in respect of the obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the
Securities solely by reason of his or its status as such stockholder, employee, officer or director. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of
any Security.
